The Boston Strangler

The movie was decent and interesting to watch, but not that great either. I sold this movie on ebay not long after I watched it. It is ok for a rental, but not a purchase.

I thought the acting really fine. The direction was annoying with the explosive back flashes. Seems DiSalvo's guilt was never really confirmed for all the murders. And finally when his DNA was available in 2010, it proved his guilt in only one early murder. It's thought that there were more than one Boston stranglers. I am hard of hearing and would have liked captions, which the DVD didn't have. The movie is not as good as I first thought perhaps and interesting enough, if a bit slow. It's better than the Tony Curtis version.

Terrible on every level. The lead actor is an Italian playing an American w/ a horrible accent and lisp. It's laughable. Production values are worse than a student film. The actor playing John Bottomly, the lead investigator, has a modern haircut - he hasn't even bothered to cut his hair to reflect that it's 1963. Forget script. its awful. Why bother making a movie when you are this lazy. Can i have my money back?

Finally!! It was about time they did a re-make of The Boston Strangler! You guys, if you love thriller/drama/serial killer movies like I do, it's a must see!!!! The reason why I've already saw it, 'cause to me, where there's a will there's a way! This new actor Mauro Lannini is definatelly going to be a very well known and respected actor, and maybe even a star, I believe he's got the potential, and he's very handsome! I'd definately cast him! The actor that plays the detective is not bad either. I loved the movie a lot! and the writing, I loved the writing too. For some it might be a bit graphic, but hey after all it's The Boston Strangler movie that we're talking about! It's definatelly a great movie, don't miss it.

Talk about a dull movie. The facts were not all drawn out right nor was the personal information about Albert De Salvo. In summary, boring movie with Albert's mind games about the thirteen women he supposedly killed in the 60's.

tony curtis look out ~ mauro lannini is in! had the opportunity to recently check out this indie flick and really enjoyed it. great camera shots and great acting. looking forward to seeing more of lannini's work.

A great Indie remake most definitely worth seing.Mauro Lannini's performance is excellent and I would want to see more of his work in the future.Bravo !

I don't care how much I hate a movie...I finish watching it. There's only two movies that I have stopped watching in the last 2 years. One was "The Phantom of the Opera." It's not that it was a bad movie, I just don't like musicals. The second one, is this film. I made it through twenty minutes before turning this off. What a piece of crap. That's not just because it's completely inaccurate and can't hold a candle to the original. This is just a poorly produced and poorly made film. First off, the dude playing Albert DeSalvo has a foreign accent. Not a Boston accent. Hell, I don't even mind the fact that he doesn't have a Boston accent...But the dude sounds like he's from Prague or something. The cinematography is awful...In the beginning, they list a hefty record (including rape) for DeSalvo. That's not true. Tony Curtis (who played DeSalvo in the original) was perfect; He made the character look like a family man, as well as an insane killer. This guy's crazy from the beginning and admitting to the murders right off the bat. Don't see this movie. See the the other one. This is a waste of time and a complete waste of money. I sat through Dahmer, Ted Bundy, Gacy, Evilenko, and Ed Gein. 4 of those 5 movies were bad. This is the worst. This movie deserves negative stars, OK?GRADE: -Z
