| User ReviewAMBER STHIS MOVIE ENDED LEAVING ME WITH ALOT OF QUESTIONS AND A STRONG DESIRE TO MEET CAROL ANN FUGATE OR WRITE TO HER . I ALSO WANTED TO GO TO WISCONSIN AND SEE ALL THE PLACES WHERE THE MURDERS HAD HAPPENED.I DON'T THINK I CAN FIND CAROL WHEN SHE WAS RELEASED FROM PRISON SHE CHANGED HER NAME. |
| User ReviewMinh MWhat's good about it? Well, it's got some pretty shocking murderous scenes, and the girlfriend is an interesting piece of work. What's bad, everything else! The movie makes us believe this guy was mentally disturbed as he conjures up the image of a faceless man, but there is no great payoff for such unecessary plot lines. |
| User ReviewSherry .To sad for those pics and Caril Ann such a mind less no caring person. |
| User ReviewJohn TThe true story of Charles Starkweather and Caril-Ann Fugit, who went on a killy spree, often compared to 'Badlands' although this is the actual story of the pair, but evidently not as popular. Also I'm sure 'Natural Born Killers' was probably influenced by the original story too. This story is one to be watched if you have a general interest into the case, however it's comparison to the film 'Monster' in terms of quality is definitely not accurate. |
| User ReviewBill TNot a bad movie here, though you can't help but compare it with Badlands of course. Brent Lucio is no Martin Sheen and Shannon Lucio isn't Sissy Spacek, but both of them, especially Lucio, do a pretty good job. Too bad I can't say the same about the actors playing the cops, who seem to have based their porttrayal from the cops in the Dukes of Hazzard. Director Wener handles it all pretty good, though it does get a little repetitious for a while. The best thing about this one is the cinematography, also by the director. An interesting movie, though definitely not one to rush out and see. |

| User ReviewBrian Cnot bad the actings a little off, i rented it cus lance henrikson was in it. really only for fans of serial killer movies. |
| User ReviewSusanne MIf you come into this film just looking for a good movie you will be greatly disappointed by the bad writing, bad acting and the under developed characters. However if you are a serial/mass killer buff who enjoys movies and books about famous serial killer you will probably enjoy this. The movie is actually pretty spot on about the killings. The only areas it falls short are in how they seem to breeze through the killings and on how they have an omniscient devil character speaking to Charlie. Overall this is basicly a lifetime movie and nothing more if you want a good lover killer movie watch natural born killers if you are big into serial killers watch this. |
| User ReviewMs. AAwful. The actress who played Caril Ann Fugate was hardly convincing as a 14-year old, and the script wasn't very good. There are better versions of Starkweather's story. |
| User ReviewVincent OThis movie was based on a true story. However, it portrays Charlie Starkweather inaccurately. The murder spree is probably correct, but as I understand it, he wasn't nearly as smart as the movie makes him out to be. |
