Top CriticDumbed down and sexed up, 'Hillside' cashes in on the overtly lurid aspects of the murders while giving short shrift to the more interesting psychological aspects of the case.

Top CriticFeels very cheesy due to its awkward, period-style acting and directing. But it's also chillingly informative.

A garishly slick piece of exploitation with surprisingly high production values but nary a moment of suspense.

Top CriticCareer-wise, no one really stands to benefit from the film, with the exception of Turturro, who shows he's ready for bigger cinematic opportunities.

Sordid and sleazy, although the lead performances are hard to fault.

Another repulsive, fetishistic trawl through the life and crimes of a serial killer.
