THE HILLSIDE STRANGLER (2004)

Cast

Plot

The third in Tartan's trilogy of true life serial killer psychodramas, The Hillside Strangler follows the events that led Angelo Buono and Kenneth Bianchi to murder more than a dozen women in California in the late 1970s. Nicholas Turturro and CT Howell give their all in portraying two of the most dispicable personalities in recent times, and Parello laudably avoids sensationalising their exploits by refusing to give the villians any redeeming features whatsoever. Thoroughly unpleasant - as it should be.
