This movie,is actually not bad,for what it is...a FICTIONAL version of the events. Many reviewers seemed to have been expecting real life,out of a fictional movie. Fine,that's their right&choice,but for the fictionalized movie that it is,it's really not too bad,if you don't go into it,expecting the true story...which it's not. 'Based on a true story,etc',does not always mean it is THE true story,or even the whole story,in some movies. The metal music is fitting though,since he was a satanist into metal/rock. I like movies for what they are,though&don't give a hoot about who directs them,etc. Many people are 'nitpickers',who LOVE to nitpick movies apart,rather than just try&enjoy them as they are. Whatever. I liked it pretty well,though it could have done without so much of the spazzy effects,in some parts&I would have liked more to be shown,in the kill/rape scenes,you know,to show how sadistic,violent&&terrifying he really was. No,the ending was not the real deal,not even close to what really happened,but then again...it is a fiction,loosely based on The Night Stalker,(Richard Ramirez)&his crimes,not a genuine true account of those events. If you know that going in,it might not be so bad. Give it a chance. (:
