This is a well done documentary about Richard Ramirez aka the Night Stalker. It's definitely worth a watch but the coverage of the flow of events is TOTALLY unbalanced. We get 3 and a half episodes out of 4 total just describing his crimes and going over the investigations before we even get to his arrest. The documentary then proceeds to, in 20 minutes, blaze through his years of trials, interviews, and subsequent death and then the show is over. This is really where it fell short for me. The filmmakers wasted so much time on stylized shooting in the beginning episodes that it really feels like they had to just slap the ending together before they ran out of time. Good documentary but really poorly executed at the end. You will be left disappointed and wondering why we had to wrap this up with a haphazard sprint to the finish.

I had the misfortune of watching this "film" at the 2017 New Hampshire Film Festival. It was without question the worst attempt at film making I have ever had the misfortune of sitting through. An accurate description for this movie is a pile of hot garbage baking in the sun and quite honestly I would rather have watched a pile of hot garbage for an hour and a half. The brief description of the movie is the entire plot. Literally there is no more plot to the movie than given in the description. Swedish girl goes to island with guy and things get weird and that's it. There is no more development of the story than that. I honestly can't even see how there was a script written for this movie as scene after scene just happen seemingly with no rhyme or reason and with almost no connection those before and after it. There was a reason at the festival that no one stayed around for the Q and A after the movie and person after person jokingly asked for that hour and a half of their life back. Literally pick any other movie on planet earth and watch that instead of this.
