Real-life serial killer John Wayne Gacy (Mark Holton) is the subject of this disturbing biographical drama. Although Gacy is a family man and respected business owner, and even entertains locals as a clown, he hides a murderous pastime. Traumatized by his childhood experiences at the hands of an abusive father (Adam Baldwin), Gacy lures young men to their deaths, hiding their bodies in the crawlspace under his house. As Gacy's grisly rampage continues, the authorities start to close in.

2/5
Mark Holton as Gacy is really the only redeeming quality the film has. The script is superficial and at best boring if it wasn't for Holton's performance, and the film itself looks terribly cheap. Overall, it's pretty useless. Go to Full Review

Was this movie really necessary? Sickoid film content is far from entertaining. Go to Full Review

Martin Scribbs Low IQ Canadian Dec 31, 2004
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. Go to Full Review

We barely learn a thing about [Gacy], other than the fact that his father abused him and he hates his wife. Go to Full Review
Chuck Wilson L.A. Weekly Mar 27, 2003
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. Go to Full Review
