The Boston Strangler
“Why did 13 women willingly open their doors to the Boston Strangler?”
CrimeDrama
Boston is being terrorized by a series of seemingly random murders of women. Based on the true story, the film follows the investigators path through several leads before introducing the Strangler as a character. It is seen almost exclusively from the point of view of the investigators who have very few clues to build a case upon.
VIBE
A suffocating, rain-slicked descent into a city gripped by fear. The film feels like a grim, procedural nightmare, heavy with the weight of unanswered questions and the desperation of men chasing a phantom.
