I checked this out yesterday. This was a GREAT movie. Anna Kendrick did amazing in both her acting role and as the director. The scenes between her and the game winner were TENSE. Amazing job.

PRAISE: Even in the 1970's people were faking it until they were making it in "reality" TV from talk shows to game shows. Producers and even hosts goading participants into what to say or do to get the best ratings. The movie is based on the crazy real-life incident from 1978, when the serial killer Rodney Alcala (Daniel Zovatto) appeared on The Dating Game.
Daniel Zovatto definitely taps into creep mode as murderer Rodney Alcala,and made my skin crawl a bit. The type of person that you cant wait to get away from.But he still had enough charm to lure women into his web. I think
director and producer Anna Kendrick,did a very good job with this film. She captures the corny awkwardness and innuendo of the Dating Game show.I liked how she further shows how all logic,reason or care is overwhelmed by a lust for fame. The way she frames certain scenes with the quiet vibe of darkness surrounding a person, when only footsteps can be heard are on point and how some of the victims were charmed into going along with Alcala are done in such a way that i cared for them just enough to be drawn into the scene and become involved.
PROBLEMS: The pacing definitely could have been better. Kendrick pulls back on displaying a few things about the killer and i think it watered down the movie a bit.
Scale of 1 to 10 a 7½
