The plot: Reporter Loretta McLaughlin becomes the first person to connect a series of murders and break the story of the Boston Strangler. She and Jean Cole challenge the sexism of the early 1960s to report on the city’s most notorious serial killer.
The Boston Strangler Movie was very good.
Pros: The tone of this film was grey and grim, which is the right sort of atmosphere. The story itself was simple and straight to the point, it is based on a true story. I like the pacing and the way the story is told about the different murders & All of the acting performances were really good.
Cons: Certain moments do drag on a bit, and I didn’t like some of characters in the film and that’s it.
