Michael Feifer writes and directs this "untold" story revolving around the terrifying serial killings of thirteen women in Boston in the early sixties. Police thought they had once and for all captured the infamous Boston Strangler in Albert DeSalvo(David Faustino). The women were sexually assaulted and left displayed with no shame and most strangled with their own nylon stockings. DeSalvo, psychotic and proud of the notoriety was convicted and later found stabbed to death in prison. The police were never fully convinced the killings were committed by just one man. This movie wants you to think you know who really did the killings other than DeSalvo.
This movie does not carry the intensity or even the interest possessed by the 1968 BOSTON STRANGLER starring Tony Curtis. And Faustino is damn sure not a Tony Curtis. His casting as DeSalvo seems so ludicrous; and at times comes off as a cocky buffoon instead of a "psycho" killer. I kept waiting for this movie to get better and it never did. Also in the cast: Andrew Divoff, Kostas Sommer, Joe Torry and Corin Nemec.
