DVD Reviews of Gacy
DVD Review: sick movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Gacy was a disturbing movie to watch. It's about a guy who does the worst things imaginable to teenage boys. Eventually the bugs and the smell gets so bad... yeah it's the kind of storyline that will make you think, and will make you sick.
The movie moves along at a pace that's almost too realistic. The guy who was going around doing those horrible things to the boys had serious problems in his head because of his father beating and sexually abusing him as a child.
Eventually the cops get suspicious, soon after his wife finds out about her husbands sexual preferences by way of magazines he had hidden away (but that's all- she did NOT know about the other bad things he was doing at the time).
The guy had serious mental problems too- people would call him names and he would totally flip out on them. It was incredibly disturbing how many murders he was getting away with and not get caught. It seemed whenever he was ready to committ a murder nobody would be around to catch him in the act.
The movie seemed to focus on the roaches and worms that were crawling around the dead bodies. Why I don't know. Unless the movie directors wanted to focus on how disgusting it is when dead bodies are rotting away. The bodies were stored in his basement.
It was interesting how the guys neighbors, the cops, and other people all noticed an extremely bad smell but didn't realize what was causing it. Also interesting is that the guys wife and mother didn't even notice any smell. Perhaps the writers forgot to include them in the nose-grabbing stink scenes!
I thought the movie was easy to understand, not really confusing, and the story rolled along at a comfortable and understandable pace.
DVD Review: Mark Holton rocks!
Summary: 4 Stars
I finally watched this after reading many reviews on how horrible it was. I definately agree about the acting being horrible by most of the actors. I wish the story was more from point A to point B, showing more of a kill by kill storytelling. Instead it was more of a big picture, everything happening all at once, and showing his relationship with neighbors and ppl in his city. But the thing that makes this movie awesome is Mark Holton as Gacy, he is outstanding. He plays such a smart and outgoing person, unlike the normal profile of sick killers being quiet and reserved, and then he flips over an is one of the creepiest and evil characters i've seen. He did such a good job i gave the movie 4 stars for that reason alone, overall the layout of the movie wasn't what i was hoping for. If they ever do something better they need to follow the same outline of the Ted Bundy movie that came out in 2002.DVD Review: Truly Awful Movie with a Decent Performance by Holton
Summary: 1 Stars
Like others have mentioned, Holton does an admirable acting job as one of America's most notorious serial killers John Wayne Gacy. We don't really get to know what's ticking inside Gacy, but that is the writer and director's fault, not Holton.
The movie is choppy, incoherent, and unintentionally funny at times. Who were the creepy detectives sitting in Gacy's lawn in lawn chairs? As the detectives close in, Gacy drives off in a huff and the movie ends...huh? Did the moviemakers run out of money? It would seem the trial, imprisonment and execution would be far more interesting, and the movie doesn't touch this area, except for a nasty dying quote from Gacy just before the closing credits. There is no real concept of time with this movie - -very choppily edited. Just a horrible production.
But, again, Holton seems to at least convey the essence of this psycho...Would like to see Holton play Gacy post-arrest, with a more able writing and directing team.
DVD Review: Gacy-save your money
Summary: 2 Stars
No real gore, which is ok but there was so little shown or reasons given as to why he did things or how often or what he did to his victims. I can guess after raping some boys he felt he had to protect himself and kill them but why only a relative few. No real thought or scene was followed through, it just went black and when to another thought. The research for this film must have be a glancing review of one newspaper article. Video was a real disappointment. I learned he was fat, likely rich but got killed for not paying someone a minor debt. Their weeks wages? He had 2000 male contacts and they found 29 in his cellar, and I believe there were 4 floaters in a water way in his area so he likely did them. So only 33 of the 2000 were killed, WHY???DVD Review: gacy or the real gacy
Summary: 3 Stars
Growing up being friends with ex step daughters and my mother being friends with his ex wife, This movie hits close to home but not quite. Yes it shows them pulling the bodies out from the crawl space under his house but fail to mention there was 22 bodies in total. Nor does it mention the torture that gacey put these men through before he murdered them. I thank god that my ex step father turned gacey down when he was offered a job or I wouldn't have a brother today. April Tina and your mom from your old friend Wanda. though its been years, I hope the 3 of you have been able to move on with your lives and put the evils of this man behind you.
John Wayne Gacey may be dead, but death by lethal injection was to mild of a way out because you can make sure he sure didnt give mercy to these 22 young men and boys he murdered over the years, nor the torture he put them through before the final acts.
