In the late 1970s, many bodies of women are found in the Los Angels area. They are brutally raped and sodomized. When the police take a suspect named Kenneth Bianchi in custody, a psychiatrist Samantha Stone is called in. She finds at first that Kenneth cannot be a serial killer. Kenneth maintains that he has nothing to do with the killings and suggests that his cousin Angelo and a man named Steve might have something to do with the murders.
Just like 'The Hillside Strangler,' this film contains a lot of sexually-oriented scenes, which may turn off some viewers. The interesting side of this movie is Samantha's ability to tell who is involved in the killings of women. It's like solving a mystery. And it has an interesting turn at the very end of the movie.
Although this movie is inspired by true events, the movie itself is not directly or entirely based on the 'Hillside Strangler' killings. That being said, there is an odd aspect. Samantha is aware that her boyfriend is a drug dealer and a sex addict. But she goes out with him anyway. So what is the true theme of this movie, Samantha exploring her sexual interest or showing her ability to solve the mystery?
There's at least one good aspect of the movie. Its use of camera is quite good. Just as the true event is confusing and sickening, the way of capturing some scenes makes us feel that we do live in a confusing society.
