The Amazon Review Killer: Documentary about serial killer Todd Kohlhepp, he's convicted of seven murders but may have killed many more. He posted online reviews of the tools he used to carry out his crimes which in many cases alluded to how the killings and torture were carried out. Aged just 15, he kidnapped at gunpoint and raped his 14-year-old neighbour,threatening to kill her family if she told anyone. He got a 15-year sentence, was released, seemingly he got no proper therapy. He was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. He committed a mass killing at a store, slaying four people. This was because the store owner laughed at him. Hiding his conviction he became a realtor, was successful and well liked. But he always held grudges. He kidnapped a couple working on his farm, killed one, the other was freed by police who finally raided the ranch. Two other bodies were found on the farm. These are not spoilers, more is given away in trailers for the documentary, It is also a well known case, the facts of which have been covered in numerous true crime programmes over the years Police incompetence figured in his getting away with crimes. How he was finally tracked down provides the meat of this film and it would be a shame to give away any of that through spoilers. The documentary is certainly worth watching, as the events outlined above unfold but is nothing spectacular. Two 47 minute episodes was a tad overlong. A 75 minute programme night have sufficed. 7/10.
