What was the last "serial" killer we had? DC Sniper?

The barrier to entry is too high now. Most killers will get caught before they rack up enough kills to achieve serial killer status. Maybe pharmaceuticals have turned lots of what would have been promising serial killers of the past into distinguished gentleman of the present. The Idaho Massacre is the most compelling murder story right now that I know of. The guy was a criminology student and he still brings his phone with him on the night of the crime!

Really pretty good.

Greysmith exaggerates but it was a very good documentary.

 

I doubt the knife has any usable DNA.

There won’t be closure until we get a DNA match. The circumstantial evidence against Arthur Leigh Allen is so strong though. He is either the Zodiac killer or he’s some other guy who got off on pretending to be the Zodiac.

Abigail

Terrifier 3 

Smile 2 

 

 

All decent horrors released 2024 - Smile 2 may even be better than original. Abigail sort of reminds me of From Dusk till Dawn in its subversion of the vampire genre: From Dusk till Dawn transplanted into an old house with a little girl. The current horror scene has an obsession with creepy horror girls, e.g., M3GAN. The whole Terrifier thing descends too much into torture porn for me, but the gore is 'just' on the right side of comic book - not quite Peter Jackson's Braindead but getting there. If it was one thread towards the realistic spectrum these films would have been unbearable. I like them but there is something amiss. They really just revolve around the staggeringly unsettling Art the Clown.

 

Evil Dead (2013 remake)

 

About as good a ''pointless remake'' as can be imagined. Give me the original however anyday.

 

Re-watch of Tremors and one or two other things.

Braindead I saw same week as Re-Animator. I think aliens come down to harvest humans for a galactic fast food chain?  Jacksons first movie in New Zealand, then he made LOTRs?
 

Bad Taste is another I remember.

Great movie. Real ethical conundrum. John Goodman is amazing.

On the subject of Fatal Attraction, the original ending in which Douglas is arrested for her death, she having slit her throat to Madam Butterfly is vastly superior to the action ending; in this ending his wife finds the cassette, with her confession she was going to frame him, and goes to rescue him from the cop shop. All the cast were appalled at filming the theatrical ending. Original is on youtube. 

 

 

 

What would have been better again - but much darker - is the same but without the cassette-wife sequence! Glenn Close wins.

The opening scene was like a Hunter Biden video.

Love when he's one handing a liquor bottle into his juice behind his back giving the announcements.

Around the same time Gosling was in The Place Beyond the Pines which less stylized, but it's a motorbike/crime movie. Has more of a epic plot. Flying planes upside down drunk in GTA was one of my hobbies. Crash landing nowhere near the drop zone and getting wasted by some kid with a jetpack and rocket launcher was normally how it went down.
