Dear Mr. Gacy shows once again the things humans do are more terrifying than any supernatural horror.
Jason Moss (Jesse Moss) is a normal college kid. Serial killer John Wayne Gacy is appealing his conviction, and Jason wants to do a paper on him.
Brilliant performance by Forsythe,, knew he could be creepy,, but, dang! Very good back and forth between the two lead actors.
This is a difficult movie to watch. I rented it over the holiday week for entertainment.
This movie has very little to do with Jason Moss' book. I had read "The Last Victim" before approaching this movie and I don't understand why they decided to make an adaptaion that is so different from the source.
Based on the true story of 18 year old college student Jason Moss (Jesse Moss), who finds himself in way over his head when he begins a relationship with notorious serial killer John Wayne Gacy (William Forsythe). As part of a term paper for his criminology class, Moss sends a letter to Gacy on death row, portraying himself as vulnerable with the hopes of eventually gaining his trust and getting inside the mind of this killer to possibly learn more about his crimes.
As someone who generally sticks to popular Hollywood movies, I found myself very impressed by this movie. I had never heard of it, or the director, but I gave it a chance and I'm glad I did, because it was worth it.
I enjoy true crime but find that most movies fall far short from their goal. Dear Mr.
This is one of the best films I have seen in 2010. The direction and acting is very professional.
