The Boston Strangler (1968)

Directed by Richard Fleischer

History | Crime | Drama

Overview

Boston is being terrorized by a series of seemingly random murders of women. Based on the true story, the film follows the investigators path through several leads before introducing the Strangler as a character. It is seen almost exclusively from the point of view of the investigators who have very few clues to build a case upon.

Rated R | Length 116 minutes

Viewing Notes

Interesting docudrama on the Boston Strangler. The second half is pretty fascinating but the first half does some gimmicky multiple viewpoints of the same scene in different sized windows which just kept me from getting into it.
