I watched the movie with one eye. I don't know which way it played. Perhaps I missed something interesting about it, or maybe – on the contrary – I watched it because of this.
I liked the film, it is minimal means - non-cash actors (Lou Diamond Phillips I have long 'counted off'), only 2-3 locations (motels, prison, alleyways), the absence of mass scenes - retains interest for 89 minutes.
Globally, he doesn't answer any questions - that's my opinion.
Director Megan Griffiths rather decided to capture a portrait of the time when Ramirez brought terror to Los Angeles. When there was fear in the air, when there was only talk of the Night Hunter
Structurally, the film is similar to many others - it parallels two times: conversations between Ramirez and female lawyer Keith (Bellamy Young) in our own time. Keith has skeletons in her closet, which Ramirez brings out from her (somewhat resembling the Silence of the Lambs). Plus, she must learn the mystery of a long-unsolved murder, as this murder can be punished, as it seems to her, by an innocent person; and show the mid-eighties - childhood and the formation of the "Night Wanderer" and the youth of Keith.
There are no normal men in the film, the most harmless is Keith’s motel neighbor, with whom she had casual sex.
Surprisingly, the film sounded the music of the forgotten proto-doom band Pentagram (he listened to Keith).
If you are lazy to read Vicki, if you are interested in films about serial killers of the United States, you want to look at the transformation of Diamond Phillips, then the film is worth watching.
