Gacy

A story based on the events around the life of serial killer John Wayne Gacy. I didn't approach this movie as horror, but more or less as a documentary, and in that respect it was a decent movie. There was surprisingly little gore in the movie, and not a whole lot of death sceens either. Most of them were implied. The movie seemed to be focused on his interaction with his family, friends and neighbors rather than just the victims. Decent movie, but don't look at is a a horror flick, or you'll be disappointed. 3 out of 5.
