Manhunt movies are always exciting to watch. The steps it takes to track down these serial killers is fascinating. Engrossing.
Good old production. Story without short-cut, clever, snappy dialogue. A PROPER story. Thanks Grapevine.

Almost every film based on real events I’ve ever seen is a riveting watch, and this is no exception. Imagine having to work on the Hillside strangler case, then this one. Being a detective may involve a varied workload but it must be stressful as hell as well.

Agreed and the actors weren't too good to accept TV roles. There were many good non fiction movies then, very well made. "Atlanta Child Murders", "Adam" about the Walsh murder among my favorites with Daniel J. Travanti ("Hill Street Blues") . I named my first born son Adam after him, it affected me so much. I bawled like a baby during the movie upon hearing his father calling out for him, knowing he was probably gone..... 🙏

I have watched this film several times. There may well be other films on the same subject. But from what I have seen with this film its a very good interpretation of what really happened. I think the film is very good to watch and I would say to others, its well worth watching. PC. 26. 09. 2022. He eventually did die in prison.

I lived an hour away from LA where he was taken down by citizens who took their streets and neighborhoods back, so proud of them! I lived 20 minutes away from his last murder. I was only 11 years old, my parents decided that my sister (age 13) and I would sleep in the same room with them so we could be together and also take him down since there is strength in numbers! This was the first time I realized that there was evil in the world, my sister and I were terrified! My parents didn't leave us alone at night, and turned down any social obligations so we could hunker down for the night. We were so happy when he was finally captured, we breathed a collective sigh of relief! I am mad the killer got to die peacefully in a warm hospital bed on a morphine drip due to cancer, he didn't give his victims any mercy. He had a merciful death when he should've been executed! 😡

He had an abusive family who left him with his uncle who showed him photos of women and men he'd raped killed and mutilated in Vietnam at a very young age he also had a brain injury. It's shows that a society that doesn't prioritise child safety has extremes in poor an rich and violence neglects children protection services is a great place for serial killers to grow.

@@user-wi9rf1zx5b no it's called how to prevent young people turning into killers and stopping abuse and early intervention in obsessive thinking, addiction rapid thoughts by taking away stigma so they in puberty can get help I'm not saying it would work for most cause people choose and enjoy it but no harm in looking at causes and early prevention like nuro stem cell development to perhaps bring balance in mood and hormones and therapy s. Obviously someone enjoying inflicting pain on innocent beings isn't a normal human trait and we learn social norms and the majority have come from severe emotional sexual and physical prolonged abuse. Not all but evolution to violence trauma,genetics and upbringing all play a part but most studies have a personality disorder that hás adapted to some kind of prolonged stress abuse. People should be locked up for life who kill like this but we still need early intervention and look into causes to lower the risk if possible.

The name of the officer who cuffed him was Officer Ramirez. The monster begged for help because he was beaten with lawn chairs and sticks. He ran across backyards and was chased by the people there. He was placed in a cell by himself and used to cower in the corner whenever the officers opened the door to feed the monster. He was terrified of what the other prisoners would do to him. He was a drug addict. I read the book and I'm glad I got a chance to watch the movie. Thank you!
Whoa...that ending in the police station...that actor looked even more like the personification of Richard Ramirez down to his rotted teeth...truly evil and demented. No one else is more accurate than these movie's of the late 20th century. Those are detail's you just don't see portrayed anymore.

They didn't show or give details about Ramirez. He ain't Bundy, Dahmer, Son of Sam.His tv specials focus on the detectives and the victims. Not how he seemed so normal or what happened. But they did a damn good job of making him come off as a villain. Especially the hotel scene before he goes out killing.

He was hilarious in the made for TV movie She Devil also starring Roseanne Barr etc.. I would highly recommend To Catch a Killer (1992) starring Brian Dennehy, The Deliberate Stranger (1986) starring Mark Harmon and Deadly Intentions (1985) starring Michael Biehn. They're all made for TV movies that are about real dangerous people. Deadly Intentions was not* about a serieal killer but he seemed very sociopathic and terrorized his poor wife.
Good little film from an era when Hollywood knew how to make them.
