The Case of the Hillside Stranglers

About This Movie

So, The Case of the Hillside Stranglers. It’s a gritty dive into the lives of these two cousins, Buono and Bianchi, and their horrific crimes. The film really captures that late '80s vibe, with a raw and unsettling atmosphere that sticks with you. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension to build, and it does a good job of exploring the psychological aspects of these characters. The performances, especially by the leads, are pretty compelling—there's a chilling sense of normalcy to their madness. Practical effects aren’t overdone; they contribute to the authenticity. It’s not just about the crimes, but how the media and society react to them. Definitely a distinctive piece in the crime drama genre.
