Erika (17789 KP) rated Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer in TV
Mar 2, 2021
Normally, Netflix's best content is their true crime documentaries... Between this one and the Hotel Cecil one, they're definitively going downhill.
This one just put me off, it wasn't really all that engaging, and it was a little boring. The Night Stalker is one creepy dude, and that's what kept me watching.
Overall, it was unremarkable, non-engaging, and a little bit of a waste of my time.

Beautifully shot but no way as good as other true crime documentaries
Netflix is an absolute master when it comes to true crime documentaries. However, unlike Making a Murderer and The Keepers, this is a standalone film and it does not explore the crime in detail. As a result it falls short in comparison to the others.
The film is about the notorious 1996 case of a six year old beauty pageant participant, JonBenet Ramsey, who was found dead in her own house even though her family said she had been kidnapped.
One of the most important things about this documentary in particular is the fact that it is completely in the perspective of random people who have no connection really with the crime itself. Instead by creating a fake film about this true crime, they reveal the actors' own perceptions and prejudices against the case and against the people involved.
It is also vital to notice while the other documentaries were created to raise awareness and educate the public about levels of corruption in society and institutions - this seemingly does nothing but instead actually is a bit of a mockery towards the young victim of this crime. The actors throw out wild theories instead, and so you know little about what actually happened.
On the upside it is shot absolutely beautifully, so it looks like an art film. A bit disappointing really.
