Best movies about serial killers?

I will second the recommendation for:


Jenkins, 2003



Charlize Theron's complete transformation into the character of Aileen Wuornos is something to behold. It's a good flick in its own right, but worth it just for the performance.

Another good one: Blue Steel (1990).

The Pledge (2001) is a great one, but it doesn't focus on the murders as much as focusing on the pursuer's life. In addition, it has one of Jack Nicholson's finest performances.

She was great. I remember being abused for saying that performance gave me empathy for the dreadful upbringing she had. Theron really surprised me in that.

Prevenge is a twisted movie about a mass murdering pregnant woman. It's promoted and packaged as a zany dark comedy but I'd say it's a lot darker than that. At thought the name of the film was a bizarre reference to a Simpsons skit. It surprised me, I'd recommend it.

I felt like that about Richard Kuklinski, seeing him in interviews and later reading about his early life. The effect of that was certainly something Michael Shannon brought out in The Iceman.

Just saw this one through all the way to the end for the first time (I bailed on this at least once early in the movie) and it was worth it!



Taking Lives (2004)

Here is a "different" one that is pretty fun to watch tho:



Kalifornia (1993)

Mr. Brooks.

Ya Mr. Brooks (2007) absolutely rocks one of my favs!

Check out James Woods in James McEllroy's "Cop."

I really enjoyed it, watched it for free with the occasional commercial on Vudu.

Spooky music score got me locking my door right away! Has that gritty 80s cinema feel.
