    The lead actor is pretty scary

    Yeah, it's a semi-pro attempt @ the story, but just seeing all the bad facelifts on the nobody actresses and the way the tension of the story keeps you going (even though you know the ending) is worth it. The lead actor playing Dennis is pretty good, and a decent set of guns on him as well. The way his scars in real life were not covered up was a good idea. Makes you wonder if that was part of the story until you read the bio on the actor. Bad acting is everywhere, but how many people want to be in a movie about a serial killer. Not a date movie that's for sure. I'll never leave my car parked 1/2 way in my driveway blocking the sidewalk after seeing this movie...lol

    A Pointless Movie

    The only good thing about the movie is the main actor is semi-decent. Otherwise the color pallet is off-putting, the death scenes are lame, most of the movie is boring, there's no character development and the movie just ends without much of a resolution at all. Not worth your time even for someone who likes watching bad movies. It's not so much bad as it is pointless. Not to mention the title makes little sense as it has very little in correlation to the real life B. T. K. killer

    Rating - 15/100

    Awful and Inaccurate

    Very interesting subject for a film but very poorly done. Timelines of murders were completely out. The way in which he was caught was completely different. If you know anything about B.T.K in real life and like me was interested in watching a film regarding this, don't bother!

    The only half decent thing about this was the lead actor playing B.T.K. He did come across as a good actor to employ for this role. Unfortunately the writers clearly got confused that this film is called B.T.K. It could have been about any Serial Killer.

    Amateur attempt to recreate B.T.K.

    I try not to go off on rants when commenting. After seeing this I can't help but rant. This was such an amateurish attempt to put a spin on the story B.T.K. The real life story of this serial killer is fascinating in a macabre sense. B.T.K. was a media sensation known world wide. Now why would a director try to make a movie based on their half cocked interpretation of what made B.T.K tick? All they had to do was stick with what happened. Once in a while people that make movies get to clever for themselves. I got caught up reading about B.T.K and watching docs on what this killer did. As Rachel Maddow would say try to talk me down. B.T.K. is a movie. In movies it's expected that a director will take a little creative license with facts. B.T.K. went beyond that. What could have been a engrossing movie about a serial killer turned out to be a director playing Freud. This director needs to watch Son of Sam by Spike Lee before making one more movie.

    Beyond Bad. Wrong.

    Having grown up in Kansas, living in Wichita for the years preceding BTK's final capture, I am fairly aware of the true story. The true story is horrific and gruesome, this was pretty lame. Not as dramatic, and the murders were in the wrong time frame, done incorrectly, with different types of victims. It was just weird to name it BTK. It had so little resemblance to the actual story. The guy who played BTK was fairly decent, but his physical appearance, body language and voice were all way off the actual person.

    I ended up having to stop it before the end because it was putting me to sleep and annoying me.

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Director Michael Feifer has made it clear that he chose to fictionalize and not make a straight biopic about Dennis Rader, mostly because, at the time of filming, Rader had only recently confessed to his crimes, and Feifer was uncomfortable with portraying Rader's family and the actual deaths of his victims. Actor Kane Hodder adds that it's meant to be a character study.
    • Goofs
      At the 22:13 mark there is a palm tree in the upper right corner of the scene and there's a large mountain directly behind the van. Neither of which would be found in Kansas.
