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!!!!

A fictionalized film about a teenage boy who lives next door to serial killer John Wayne Gacy and becomes suspicious of him.

Seriously, that's it. It's not like he befriends him for a while and then becomes suspicious. It happens in the first 20 minutes. The movie has no where to go. His attempts to convince his friends and family are shot down throughout the film. It's both boring and infuriating.

The acting is amateurish all around. The dialogue is awful. The actor playing Gacy is unconvincing and even more so when he decides to take on the persona of The Joker, complete with an over the top maniacal laugh. Make it to the it end and you'll also get to experience the tonally bizarre Chariots of Fire moment.

If you really need to see a film about John Wayne Gacy, please pass on this and watch one of the already too many films / documentaries that exist.

Rifftrax take notice. This can be your next film.

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.

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.
