Henry - Portait Of A Serial Killer perhaps.
Yet I have not seen a movie about real murderers that creeped me out as much as Heavenly Creatures did.

The theater is like a faithful wife. The film is the great adventure, the costly, exacting mistress

Depends on what you mean by "like this". Lesbian murderers, very young murderers, criminal friendships, or just strong friendships? (like Thelma and Louise?)

On the Heavenly Creatures fan mailing list people used to cite Rope and Swoon, both about Leopold and Loeb. I always thought Picnic at Hanging Rock had an atmosphere most like HC, although it is also very much like a Hitchcock film. Another film that I think "goes" with this one is The Silent Twins. I also got mild HC vibes from Les Enfants Terribles.

Let's just say that God doesn't believe in me.

Try http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0995851/, In Her Skin (2009). It's based on a true crime in Australia involving a teen girl. Told largely from the point of view of the victim's family, but also others. Very well acted. Can't understand why I never heard of it before this month. Did they not advertise it? Was it never released to theaters?

Well anyway, my TiVo tells me that it's showing early next week on TMCX for just 2 showings. (Beware the TiVo guide's summary. It contains a major spoiler.)

watched in her skin last night, what great acting!! The actress playing Caroline was brilliant.
You want films based on serial killers, you have zodiac, based on the zodiac killer, see no evil based on the moors murders, appropriate adult based on the Wests, Dr Crippen, psycho based on Ed Gein, 10 rillington place based on John Christie, from hell loosely based on Jack the Ripper and texas chainsaw massacre was based also on Gein. You also have some others which are extremely loosely based on killers like mum and dad
