06.09.06Netflix A local-made doc about Kansas City serial murderer Bob Berdella... who apparently captured and tortured six men before killing them, cutting them up, and maybe just maybe cooking them in food that he served to others. the documentary portion of this movie is pretty decent, the recreations footage is kind of hokey, and the random music videos of some people trying to act like a band and play along to the pre-recorded songs is absolutely horrendous... filled with standard in-camera video effects and shot bad enough to match the lyrics of each song... and then there's one interview with James Ellroy where he talks about serial killers and what an asshat Bob Berdella was... I stayed interested just because of the whole morbid fascination thing but really... this should've been 20 minutes shorter and just a straight doc without any of that wonky crap added in.
