A pretty faithful account of The Hillside Stranglers starring Dennis Farina as Angelo Buono and Billy Zane as Kenneth Bianchi. Richard Crenna is cop Bob Grogan who is hunting them. This made for TV movie is based on the book Two of a Kind: The Hillside Stranglers By Darcy O'Brien.
I love TV movies based on true crime cases especially those made in the 80's ever after I saw The Deliberate Stranger starring Mark Harmon as Ted Bundy.
This movie has chilling reverberations to the recent Sarah Everard case as it depicts the killers using a police badge to get their potential female victims attention so that they would go with them.
The film also has it's fair share of tense moments such as Grogan's girlfriend going to see Buono just to see what he's like after she had discussed him with her cop boyfriend for so long. Obviously, this was a really foolhardy thing to do!
A solid TV movie.
