Gacy: Serial Killer Next Door

I HAVE NO IDEA HOW NOBODY SO FAR HAS MADE A HORRIBLE REVIEW ABOUT THE HORRIBLE PRODUCTION OF THE MOVIE......NOTE THAT THIS MOVIE TAKES PLACE IN CHICAGO... I'M FROM CHICAGO!!! THEY SAY THEY ARE IN CHICAGO BUT WHEN GACY TRIED HITTING BOBBY AND THE GIRLS THEY ARE CLEARY IN CALIFORNIA, THOSE HILLS ARE NOT FOUND AT ALL IN CHICAGO OR ANY PART OF ILLINOIS IT WAS CLEARY CALIFORNIA. ALSO AT THE END OF THE MOVIE YOU CAN SEE A PALM TREE ABOVE GACEYS HOUSE.... THERE ARE NO PALM TREES IN CHICAGO!!!! HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE ACTING TOO!!! THE ONLY GOOD ACTOR WAS THE GUY WHO PLAYED GACEY. AND DID ANYBODY ELSE NOTICE TOWARDS THE END OF THE MOVIE HOWARD'S (bobbys dad) MIC FREAKING MUFFLES AND ALMOST CUT OUT. WORST MOVIE OF ALL TIME AND THE WORST ACTING OF ALL TIME THESE PEOPLE STINK!!!!

The 10s and 9s are obviously submitted by the people associated with this debacle. Do not give this "movie" any of your time. You will hate yourself afterwards. Whose idea was it to cast a Meatloaf look alike with out the talent to play Gacy. The acting is reminiscent of a 6th grade play. I often wonder how projects like this get funded. The world would be much better off if the money to make the film was donated to a worthy cause. The "actors" do not need to be encouraged. They will all be much better off with careers in other fields. I blame this movie on the everyone gets a trophy generation. Just because you can do it, doesn't mean you should.

Very bad acting. Feels like a play at times or just a lifetime movie. Iit's available on tubi so I'm not surprised but the picture quality is actually pretty good. It is the only reason I could even give it 3 stars. Someone needs to make a movie about Mr. Gacy that's good it is an interesting story. The documentaries are way better this story is a real story and should be portrayed better. Think it falls by the waist side when is compared to the Jeffery Dahmer incident and docu-series. Hopefully one day we will get a real adaptation of John gacy real life and why he turned out the way he did. I kno it's not about his upbringing just the boy next door vision but it could have been better just my opinion .

A fictionalized film about a teenage boy who lives next door to serial killer John Wayne Gacy and becomes suspicious of him.

Seriously, that's it. It's not like he befriends him for a while and then becomes suspicious. It happens in the first 20 minutes. The movie has no where to go. His attempts to convince his friends and family are shot down throughout the film. It's both boring and infuriating.

The acting is amateurish all around. The dialogue is awful. The actor playing Gacy is unconvincing and even more so when he decides to take on the persona of The Joker, complete with an over the top maniacal laugh. Make it to the it end and you'll also get to experience the tonally bizarre Chariots of Fire moment.

If you really need to see a film about John Wayne Gacy, please pass on this and watch one of the already too many films / documentaries that exist.

Rifftrax take notice. This can be your next film.

So I'm going to be brutally honest. Sitting here on a Sunday afternoon and looking for something interesting to watch I came across this movie but I can't even really call it a movie, I would refer to it as agonizing torture that was probably worse than what Gacey's victims went through. I've seen better acting at my 6-year-old nephews performance during his grammar school play. Of the 1:38:02 the "movie" lasted I probably watched a little over half as I had to keep fast forwarding because I thought I was going to have a stroke. What happened to Gacey's mom. We saw her when he walked her into the new house and that was it. When the dad went looking for the son it was dark outside but when they came out the front door it was daylight. The best part of it was seeing the Buick Riviera because I had a '64 in high school. Did anybody watch this before they released it to the public because the continuity is ridiculous. I have much more but I'm tired now and I have to go but if this is what the people who were involved in the production of this movie was aiming for then they hit it right on the mark and Siskel and Ebert would give it two thumbs down.
