Why would anyone want to rent this? Seeing the life of a serial killer played out isn't the way anyone should want to spend their time. At least see some kind of artistic movie about the issue if you're interested. I just dont get it. Who goes into Blockbuster, and over everything else, says hey, lets rent Gacy?
shareWhy would someone, who thinks those of us who've watched and like "Gacy" are weird, comes to a message board, and over everything else, says hey, lets go rant about Gacy?
share>>>"Who goes into Blockbuster, and over everything else, says hey, lets rent Gacy?"
^^^ is that what you did? Once you're a well-seasoned movie fan you're willing to look beyond the new releases and take a chance....
....though I for one saw it on a movie channel. I have an interest in serial killers, and decided to watch on. Gacy is interesting as a piece of history. I think it's arguably much sicker for millions of people to watch films like Friday the 13th, bloody slashing concieved solely for the purpose of entertainment.

we're all kinda big fans of gacy and besides all dvd sales go to the john wayne gacy foundation
shareMy friend claims to have been propositioned by a man that looked very much like Gacy when he was 14 (which would have been 1978). He said he was riding his bike around his neighborhood (my friend lived in Schiller Park, IL) and a guy pulled up in a car along side him and tried to talk him into getting into the car offering him money. When he refused, he followed him for a bit and then tried to hit him with the car. His mom does back his story (the part about him telling her a man tried to talk him into getting into his car, etc.) and he says there was a police report but since Gacy had an interest in teenage boys a little bit older than 14, it might have been some other pervert but it's scary just the same.

I think I'm right in saying that some of Gacy's younger victims weren't any older than 14, so it may well have been him.
Born when she kissed me, died when she left me, lived whilst she loved me
It appeals to those of us who want to see and understand humans' darkest instincts. Read Tim Cahill's "Buried Dreams"- the best book about Gacy- written from the psychopath's point of view.
Great casting, by the way- Gacy was an ordinary, fat shlub, which somehow makes his atrocities and the gullibility of his victims even creepier. This "Gacy" was far more effective than the Brian Dennehy version.
Loved the shots of Mark Holton's chubby wrists. Eew.1
it appeals to me. it's the funniest *beep* i've seen since karate kid 3.

dark ambient, industrial, p/e.
Its appealing, interesting, and a somewhat biopic, appealing to people that want to understand how someone could do such a thing...
http://www.KillerPenPals.com Have you wrote to a serial killer today?

Everyone.
Because its a true story and that makes it about 1000 times stranger and more interesting than Captivity, Turistas, Hostel, Lecter etc etc.

One of my main interests are Serial killers... For some reason, I dunno why myself, but I'm highly fascinated by this subject. So. The answer is: Me.
shareyou listen to linkin park, no wonder you made such an idiotic thread
shareI don't know, "Gacy" wasn't that good, I prefer "To Catch A Killer" with Brian Dennehy as Gacy.

Gotta admit I like serial killer movies. I'm fascinated by the dark and depraved side of human nature. Doesn't mean I'm a serial killer though :P. This one was good but the Dahmer and Bundy films were better. I saw this on youtube.
shareSome of us have an interest in the workings of the human mind, which can be especially fascinating when it is broken, and broken badly. Unfortunately the symptons of a broken or sick mind can be actions that are gory or disturbing or otherwise hard to view. But if you are at all interested in the pursuit of knowledge, you have to study many subjects through many media. Not all creative work is performed merely to entertain.
shareThat's very well put. Why must all filmmaking exist to make us feel good?
I'm a lot more disturbed by films like "Saw" and "Friday the 13th," which seem to take pleasure in carnage, than films like "Gacy" and "Dahmer," which attempt to probe the disturbed psyche.
That said, I don't think "Gacy" was entirely successful, but I give the filmmakers credit for trying.
