It starts off strong, with a gripping premise centred around a journalist's murder, but as the layers peel back, it sometimes feels like it loses its grip. The secret diary revealing more victims is intriguing, but the pacing can drag, making it a bit of a slog in places. The interviews with those involved are compelling, yet at times the film feels like it leans too heavily on sensationalism rather than deeper exploration. While it’s certainly not for the faint-hearted, the film does have moments that stick with you, especially when it dives into the psychology of the killer. Overall, it’s an interesting watch, but it might not satisfy everyone’s taste for true crime. Show less
