The most prolific serial killer in American history, John Wayne Gacy (Mark Holton) kept his secret by appearing as a model citizen in his suburban Chicago neighborhood--even going so far as to volunteer as a clown at a local hospital.

Was this movie really necessary? Sickoid film content is far from entertaining.

Gacy channels its horror through bicentennial suburban kitsch, clowns-in-the-closet visuals, and a heaving, foul, maggot-carpeted crawlspace deep with death and lies.

We barely learn a thing about [Gacy], other than the fact that his father abused him and he hates his wife.

In this unenlightening, dramatized account of Gacy's crime spree, first-time writer-director Clive Saunders, working with television writer David Birke, displays little genuine interest in why Gacy killed.
