To enjoy this movie you better be on ACID or some other drug, because the movie is very disturbing; not in the scenes or anything like that, but in the way the films was shot; everyone seems to be on booze or drugs in this movie, and when they use it their heads keep spinning and twisting, and it's all very fast, flickering images, and death metal music; it just doesn't make sense. The movie itself, the remaining 45 minutes if you scratch all the head shaking flickering mambo-jumbo, portrays Richard Ramirez, but only concentrates on a few of the murders he committed. The previous comment states that it was overdone and probably was less terrible in real life, well, newsflash, it was WAY worse. this movie only shows a tiny bit of what Ramirez was capable of and only few of his murders. Not at all has been concentrated on his worship of Satan )apart from some pentagrams found on the murder scenes), and you don't get a look into the mind of Ramirez either. In the movie he is just a weirdo drug addict. Also, the movie suggests his victims were all Latina ladies of a certain age, which is not true either; he killed all races, men, women, and children, his youngest victim being around 6, and his oldest I think in her 80s. All together, this movie is NOT the true story of Ramirez, and it is VERY annoying to watch with the continuously flickering images, and the non stop death metal type music. If you're on acid, as I said earlier, you might enjoy this, but if you like true horror movies and want to know what really happened back then, you'd be better off buying a book.
