From frame 1, I had a premonition that "Nightstalker" would be another completely worthless addition to the inexplicably popular subgenre of direct-to-video pseudo-documentaries of serial killers ("Ed Gein," "Ted Bundy," "Dahmer," "Speck," "Gacy," etc.), and I was absolutely right. After about 30 minutes, I found myself fast-forwarding through this muck in search of something of interest, but found nothing. Skimming the other comments posted here, I'm glad I'm not the only one who raised an eyebrow at the Latino female empowerment plot fronting as a would-be expose on Richard Ramirez--it's more the tale of one woman's (trite, trite, trite) oppression by society because of her ethnicity, and how she overcomes it to reel in a psycho (please, sell it to Lifetime). Not that there'd be anything wrong with this revisionist history if the characters were well-developed and made to deliver strong dialogue, but no--the director utilizes the tried-and-true gimmick of the talentless--known as 'the music-video edit'--to stand in for character development and suspense; godawful death-metal plays over rapid-fire cuts of white demons, crack pipes, and rape scenes, which translates into annoyance, not menace. Pathetic, subpar acting puts the final nail in the coffin of this garbage. Avoid at all costs.
