Review of B.T.K. (2008) by Christopher B — 17 Dec 2008

Iron Maiden should sing a song called Bring Kane Hodder to the Slaughter.

I've never been a fan of the low budget, based on a true story, serial killer film. It seems the filmmakers usually care a lot more about the subject than I ever will. I gave this one a chance because I remember being fairly interested in the BTK story when I saw it on 60 minutes or something like that. The main interesting thing seemed that it was a serial killer who retired to start a family and lead a good life and then was drawn back to killing. Sounds interesting doesn't it? Could be an examination of good and evil and it's constant struggle within men's souls, a character drama about an extremely sick man trying to outrun his twisted desires or even a complex police procedural/serial killer film. I'm sure none of those even entered the producer's heads as they went off to make a movie about a dude, played by Kane Hodder, killing women. To bad, this could have been a good film if anyone had any ambition.
