Format:DVD
I noticed theres a number of these serial killer types of movie from First Look Entertainment such as Gacy, Dahmer, Ted Bundy, Ed Gein, etc, and there all based on true stories and there is a very creepy, realistic and similar feel to all those movies making you think its really happening. And all of those movies including Gacy are quite well produced and directed and are somewhat high quality and not low budget movies.
Format:DVD
Mark Holton who you may remember as the bike thief Francis in "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" plays the title character of the famous serial killer John Wayne Gacy. While he has the look and the flamboyance, he simply doesn't cut the mustard as an actor with the skills to play Gacy. His performance isn't at the top of the list indicating the worse things about this movie. Let's continue with the script issues. I'm wondering if they even had one. The pace of the film is sluggish at best. The director resorts to the whole bugs and maggots thing to creep out the viewer. It fails to do so. The editing is unintentionally sketchy and just unprofessionally done. But why is that a surprise, everything about the movie is unintentional. Who makes a bad movie on purpose? Avoid even on a slow night. I recommend the more recent "Monster" with Charlize Theron instead. It deals with what provokes a serial killer and the performance by Theron is unbeatable.

The entire creative team of this film should be hogtied and shuffled off to Gacy's crawlspace. What's worse?: The amazingly feeble psychological explanations of Gacy's psychosis, southern California locations that look NOTHING like Chicago, costume, set, hair and costume inaccuracies for the period? The list goes on and on. There is no suspense, no pacing, HUGE gaps in the narrative. We're supposed to accept Gacy became a gay serial killer because his Dad called him a jag-off??? (Did it occur to the writers that 'jag-off' didn't enter the vernacular until the 70s and NOT 1953?? Obviously not.) When the inept director loses steam, he resorts (repeatedly) to shots of clown paintings and insects crawling in the basement to wake his audience up. The vapid creative team offers deadly dull commentary that offers little of interest about the story or film process. Don't even waste the money to rent this stinker... no pun intended.

Bad, So Bad movie...
It was boring and extremely repulsive movie. We don't get to know more about this famous well infamous serial killer Gacy. It was a drag to watch.

He's Not Clowning Around
Yup, another entry in the direct-to-video-real life serial killer-slasher film franchise. Once again we have a mediocre slasher/suspense flick who's gimmick is to base it's crimes... Read more

You think he was a MONSTER now? Wait til you see this!
I thought I was horrified by what John Wayne Gacy did before I saw this movie. But now, I am TRUELY HORRIFIED by what this man did (And how he behaved while he was doing it)! Read more
