Gacy: Serial Killer Next Door

I HAVE NO IDEA HOW NOBODY SO FAR HAS MADE A HORRIBLE REVIEW ABOUT THE HORRIBLE PRODUCTION OF THE MOVIE......NOTE THAT THIS MOVIE TAKES PLACE IN CHICAGO... I'M FROM CHICAGO!!! THEY SAY THEY ARE IN CHICAGO BUT WHEN GACY TRIED HITTING BOBBY AND THE GIRLS THEY ARE CLEARY IN CALIFORNIA, THOSE HILLS ARE NOT FOUND AT ALL IN CHICAGO OR ANY PART OF ILLINOIS IT WAS CLEARY CALIFORNIA. ALSO AT THE END OF THE MOVIE YOU CAN SEE A PALM TREE ABOVE GACEYS HOUSE.... THERE ARE NO PALM TREES IN CHICAGO!!!! HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE ACTING TOO!!! THE ONLY GOOD ACTOR WAS THE GUY WHO PLAYED GACEY. AND DID ANYBODY ELSE NOTICE TOWARDS THE END OF THE MOVIE HOWARD'S (bobbys dad) MIC FREAKING MUFFLES AND ALMOST CUT OUT. WORST MOVIE OF ALL TIME AND THE WORST ACTING OF ALL TIME THESE PEOPLE STINK!!!!

The 10s and 9s are obviously submitted by the people associated with this debacle. Do not give this "movie" any of your time. You will hate yourself afterwards. Whose idea was it to cast a Meatloaf look alike with out the talent to play Gacy. The acting is reminiscent of a 6th grade play. I often wonder how projects like this get funded. The world would be much better off if the money to make the film was donated to a worthy cause. The "actors" do not need to be encouraged. They will all be much better off with careers in other fields. I blame this movie on the everyone gets a trophy generation. Just because you can do it, doesn't mean you should.

This is touted as being the true story of the life and crimes of serial killer John Wayne Gacy.

It's not.

Basically nothing in this movie EVER happened, some of the names are the same, but that's IT. Total fabrication on every level. The blurb at the end telling you what happened to Gacy, makes out as though the events in this film happened as they are portrayed - that's utter nonsense.

This story has been done better, many times before.

The acting is school play quality - total garbage. The kids who play the friends of Bobby are just abysmal, I've seen better acting at a primary school play.

The principal actors are bad, the script is atrocious.

The actress playing the Mother can barely move her lips and looks like a store mannequin, couldn't take my eyes off the awful plastic surgery. It's the ONLY gripping thing about this pile of junk, seriously hypnotic. She looked more like a clown than Gacy did in full clown makeup.

The slow motion sequence at the end is laugh-out-loud pathetic and cringeworthy.

Seriously, everyone involved in this pile of junk needs to hang their head in shame. Watched it out of morbid curiosity to see how bad it would get - trust me, it gets very bad.

FAKE story, waste of time, BAD BAD BAD.

I have since found out that the "actress" who plays the Mother is married to the director and writer of the film. What a surprise she was cast in the role (NOT).

I have to give Kudos to anyone that aspires to make films and then does it. I have always been a huge fan of film/ cinema. I would like to make a movie one day. However, I respect taking some creative license when writing a movie but I don't appreciate taking a real person or event and creating something fictional. It's misleading and confusing. Just create your own characters and build a story around them. In this Gacy movie, the story focused on young man who was Gacy's neighbor. I have watched many docs on Gacy and there has never been any mention of a young man snooping around his home and parents getting involved.

I know alot about Gacy and wanted to watch to see what Hollywood would do. There was 2 other movies done about him, but this one is more about the neighbors, so it makes if a fictional story. They got Gacy right as he was a serial killer, but his neighbors didn't suspect him of anything. So watching this, I am like the kid, Bobby, his parents are very old to be playing parents of a teenager. His mom, geez, couldn't stop looking at her oversized clownish lips. The father, another older actor. Gacy lived in a ranch style home, not a 2 story tudor style home. They really didn't show Gacy as he really was. Most of his victims were teenagers or young men he promised jobs to. This movie shows him just picking up male prostitutes. Also, Gacy had an accompliace which would bring people to him. So while this was a different spin, it still was awful.
