Let's be realistic.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

there have been a few movies about the boston strangler, but the other movies have been portrayed as albert desalvo bieng convicted of and bieng the boston strangler, even though it's widely known that he more than likely wasn't't and only admitted to bieng the strangler for notoriety, and money, this is what this movie is about and even if it isn't 100 percent accurate, its no lees accurate than the others, in fact this is probably still the most closest version to the truth so far. the movie isn't a masterpiece and at times the low budget is apparent, bur for the most part there is good acting, good script, and a good movie, not one of the best no, but for fans of true crime and serial killer movies, this is good stuff

"Boston Strangler : The Untold Story" is a poorly acted, horrendously written, low budget, garbage movie. This film fails on so many levels, it's difficult to know where to start. The acting is about on the level you would expect from a high school theater. As to why Bud Bundy was cast as the lead in this role, I'll never know. But to the actor's credit, they didn't have much to work with. The writing in this film is among the worst I've ever seen. We are forced to sit through many long pointless scenes and terrible, self-serving, completely unrealistic dialog sequences.I recommend no one see this movie. Doing almost anything else for an hour and a half would be a better use of your time.

Brutal Kills,Tension,Scares,Beautiful Women, and a well thought out story make this a 10 in my book.For any of those of you who aren't familiar with Mike Feifer's past true crime/serial killer productions (Ed Gein:The Butcher of Plainfield, Chicago Massacre Richard Speck,and upcoming Ted Bundy)he's fast making a name for himself as one of the best horror directors in the business.In "The Boston Strangler:The untold story" Feifer explores the dark psychology consuming Albert Desalvo and brings a completely fresh take to the story by expanding on the possibility that Albert Desalvo wasn't really the Boston Strangler. The film suggests that Desalvo was seeking notoriety as his motive to confess to the crimes committed by the Strangler and brings in another possible suspect (played to a tee by Kostas Summer)as the true strangler. This theory was discussed for years in newspapers following the Strangler Murders but has since faded from the public's memory until now. A MUST SEE FOR THE HARDCORE HORROR AND TRUE CRIME CROWD!!!

Michael Feifer writes and directs this "untold" story revolving around the terrifying serial killings of thirteen women in Boston in the early sixties. Police thought they had once and for all captured the infamous Boston Strangler in Albert DeSalvo(David Faustino). The women were sexually assaulted and left displayed with no shame and most strangled with their own nylon stockings. DeSalvo, psychotic and proud of the notoriety was convicted and later found stabbed to death in prison. The police were never fully convinced the killings were committed by just one man. This movie wants you to think you know who really did the killings other than DeSalvo.This movie does not carry the intensity or even the interest possessed by the 1968 BOSTON STRANGLER starring Tony Curtis. And Faustino is damn sure not a Tony Curtis. His casting as DeSalvo seems so ludicrous; and at times comes off as a cocky buffoon instead of a "psycho" killer. I kept waiting for this movie to get better and it never did. Also in the cast: Andrew Divoff, Kostas Sommer, Joe Torry and Corin Nemec.
