No words can describe my utter hatred for this appalling rendition of the BTK killer. Rating this film one out of ten compliments this truly disastrous excuse for a film. From start to finish, there was not one single highlight. The entire thing was horrendously put together; the script, acting, plot, lighting, direction, ACTING, factual information, ACTING, just to name a few. A number of scenes are literally laugh-out-loud-funny, for the atrocious way in which the entire thing is put together. This review may seem like an unjust and scathing attack on a low-budget film, but this is not the case. Just thinking about the movie I have just seen makes my blood start to boil. How this film was ever granted rights for production i will NEVER know. I am almost tempted to actually recommend BTK, because it is truly a stand-out in regards to how pathetic, and disturbingly awful it is. I can honestly say, in all my years of film-going, this is the WORST. MOVIE. EVER. I wasted over an hour of my life on this useless garbage, and would gladly have jumped off the nearest building beforehand, had I known what I was in for. ZERO out of TEN.

Wow! What an effort, my friends. It is a policy of me not to stop watching a movie until it's over, no matter how bad it is. I almost broke my rule today with this one, but I stood there like a warrior to see how all that silliness would end.First of all, I knew nothing about the Dennis Rader story before watching it, so when I put the DVD on, I thought I was going to see a slasher film and had no preconceptions about it.The film starts right away without credits, and from the first sequence one could think this is going to be a soft-core/ gore type of film... forget it! It's not like that at all if you're into that kind of stuff. Instead we are delivered with terrible acting (especially when the guy talks to himself, hideous!), campy camera plays, longer-than-needed sequences, inadequate choices of songs, gratuitous and badly edited animal gore inserts and, last but not least, an absurd way to wrap it all up in less than 80 minutes.Except for most of the girls' beauty (Danielle Petty in special) and some female feet close shots (it's my fetish, I can't help it), there's nothing you could save from this movie. Trust me, this doesn't even enter the "so bad it's good category" (I put stuff like Nightmare Weekend there heheheh).Rating: 1/10

But in this case, it's genuinely true.I don't even know where to start! First off, a huge chunk of the movie is nothing but various scenes from a slaughter house scattered in between scenes of the "plot." Those scenes are poorly shot (my three year old could do better, I'm not exaggerating) and have absolutely NOTHING to do with the story. Literally nothing! Also, numerous scenes are simply BTK hunched over some paper, writing. And very...very...sl-ooooo-wly...we hear him think what he's writing. These scenes drag on for MINUTES and are little more than him saying ridiculous, obvious things in ten words or less...very...very...sl-ooooo-wly...The one fourth of the movie that isn't a senseless slaughterhouse scene or a BTK writing scene is so poorly acted and filmed that I honestly thought my husband was joking when he popped this movie in, I really did believe (until the credits rolled) that this was some lame thing one of his brothers and their friends did together when they'd had too much to drink.PLEASE, for your own sake, be smart and don't waste the hour (+) of your life or the $1 for video rental on this disaster! I was stupid, I didn't come on here to check out reviews before I watched it, please be smarter than I was!!!

BTK Killer (2005) * (out of 4) Another film in director Ulli Lommel's "serial killer series"; this time Dennis Rader is the main target. The film takes place during the 70's and 2004 but it really doesn't matter because this film is bad from start to finish. Nothing in the film really connects to the real killer and during the commentary track the director is asked how closely the murders were to the real life cases and he replies that he didn't know. It seems as if the director simply read the bottom line on CNN about BTK and then filmed this thing. The only reason I don't give this a BOMB is due to the two men who play BTK. They don't deliver great performances but they are better than what we usually see in a no-budget film like this. What was really wacky was the pig/cow slaughter house footage, which runs throughout the film. Seeing these animals slaughtered over and over again really doesn't add anything.
