Interview with a Serial Killer

(Available on Netflix Australia)

'How do you remove a head?'

'Easy, you just pick it up and move it'.

A pretty barebones documentary / interview about Arthur Shawcross, better known as the Genesee River Killer. I enjoyed the fact they pretty much stuck to the program; the majority of the doco is a straight interview with the man, which is cut with other interviews of the officials on the case.

I can understand why some may find this boring in the age of Netflix docu-series, though I found the rawness of it refreshing.

Probably not worth watching more than once, but it's certainly an interesting insight into the mind and psyche of a serial murderer.

No time wasting,long shots of tress and the skies. I never heard of this guy so this documentary kept my interest till the end. A must watch for crime show fans.

Hmm... Hard to call it and interview when serial killer dictates what questions he wants to speak about, when he's not answering to certain questions. From this interview we don't get anything new that we knew before. He looks a really smart guy, not insane one and it's very hard to understand when he's saying true or he just believes in what he's saying so much that it becomes true. Not bad documentary, 40 minutes gone fast, wanted more details tho.
