Convicted and sentenced to death in Texas for 11 murders (commuted to life in prison by then-governor George W.

But due to an ongoing habit of making confessions, then recanting them, it is unknown how many he actually committed. Flashbacks recreate the crimes, violence, ruthlessness and callousness of one of America’s most infamous serial killers, who once revealed, “Killing is like eating and you eat because you’re hungry. Sometimes I just got hungry.”

    Aside from having the most odd but fun use of the song "Monster Mash" this movie has some other really good merits.

I do not know how much of this is in fact, and how much got changed, but the movie held my attention for awhile. Unfortunately, it kept going, and it lost me. Not that it was confusing or any such thing, but rather boring at points, and it's only 80 minutes long. Maybe as a 50 minute short this would have been exhilirating. What we are left with is good beginning, great ending, and a few good spots, but mostly boring inbetween.

    Poorly constructed movie, sloppily thrown together and clearly low budget. The score is not very good, the performances are sub par. Not very impressive.
