Chicago Massacre: Richard Speck Review - DVD Snapshot
June 06 2007
Official Synopsis:On July 14, 1966, Richard Speck took 9 student nurses hostage. He held the girls, methodically beating, raping and stabbing them to death in one of the bloodiest mass murders in American history. Witness the terrifying story every fan of true crime must see.
Our Take:
Chicago Massacre: Richard Speck is the true story of one of the most horrific mass murders in American history. It's also a very dark and disturbing film, anchored by a terrific performance by Corin Nemec, an actor I'm a huge fan of (click on the link above to read my interview with him about this and other roles.)
Unfortunately, the film is a bit too dark for my tastes, but it should be right up the alley of anyone who is fascinated by serial killer and true crime stories. What's interesting is how the film doesn't take place entirely during the events of the killings; they mostly happen in flashbacks. As such, the film is more of an intense character study of a damaged, disturbed man. The violence is more implicit than explicit, but it's so horrific that it's still more than a little unsettling.
