Review title: Made for TV, insightful, rent it.
Product review: Assuming you have followed the BTK case, you will want to rent this. Buy it? Guess that depends upon your level of obsession. If you know enough about Rader then you will find Gregg Henry's performance at least somewhat inspired if not borderline spooky. His mannerisms are spot on, and he does at least resemble the man. Although Rader is far from human in my eyes, Henry succeeds in bringing out his level of depravity. This work is something made-for-TV, sanctioned by local Wichita Author Beattie (multiple cameos), that was maybe on CourtTV (?) At any rate, it is insightful, yet never really makes you feel immersed or entirely sympathetic towards any of the protagonists. At a skim 88 minutes, it is simply an "addendum" to Beattie's excellent book. Read that, then see this. It is at least somewhat budgeted. Not every detail is accurate (miniscule stuff that only would bother the locals). 3 and 1/2 stars.
