The Hunt for the BTK Killer (2005)

Starring: Robert Forester, Gregg Henry, Michael Michele
Director: Stephen Kay

Premise:
Detectives get close to catching a serial killer who has terrorized Wichita for nearly 31 years.

My Take:
Much better movie than I anticipated. The cover art makes it seem like a low brow slasher, but instead we get more of a crime drama with how this killer put an entire community in fear for many years while the police can't figure out who is responsible. When they finally do catch the man it is a bigger shock than imaged and so is his confession. Also has an excellent cast.

Rating: In the middle
