makers of 'Ed Gein' and 'Ted Bundy'. October '77 a Strangled naked and twisted corpse of a young woman is left for all to see on a hillside - the cops treat it as just another random killing among many in the City of Angels. But this one's different... As the body count rises each case seems linked to the previous; they all bear the same gruesome hallmarks of an insatiably sadistic serial sex killer and the media catches on branding the perpetrator 'The Hillside Strangler'. Little do the public and police know the killings aren't the work of a single killer but two men bound by the blood of their victims and the blood they share in their veins. As the search begins the two men find their voracious blood lust rising again and again...

Advantages: Wide view of Picture as intended for cinemas Disadvantages: Unsuitable view for Portable DVD's
...The third and final part (as of yet) of the Die Hard series and Bruce Willis is back this time alongside Samuel L Jackson.
This Widescreen version is suitable for anyone who's television set as the ability to show widescreen pictures. With this you can see more of the film has it was intended to be seen at the cinema. Sometimes films are cut to fit onto standard screen sizes. The film is probably the best of the three films and Jackson gives Willis a run for his money in the action scenes.
The Villian played by Jeremy Irons although not as good has Alan Rickman in the first Die Hard film does an excellent potrayal of a German villian. If you are a fan of the series but have only watched them on television (with adverts betwween) then go and purchase this film and see how it was intended to be seen....

Advantages: Gripping, unexpected Disadvantages: Slightly annoying performance from Weaver
...there - the film is incredibly fast-moving and packs in a lot of action and death, whilst keeping the killer's identity secret. And this really did keep me at the edge of my seat, although this time of watching was not the first time that I have seen the film. The murders are based on the killings of famous serial killers, such as Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer and The HillsideStrangler, and as such, don't make very pleasant watching - but then what do you expect from a film about a serial killer? The classification of 18 is about right - I have to say I have seen much more graphic films, but the subject matter is so disturbing that parents will want to vet the film before letting children watch.
The script is taut and smart, put together very well by Ann Biderman and David Madsen. I liked the way that they managed to cram so much into the film - Helen...

...the files he;ll get her to look at them later.she soon realises that this murder is a copycat of the boston strangler,albert desalvo.There is soon a second murder this time they think its a different person,but when helen hears all the evidence and puts this murder as the same person doing another old murder.
This time the hillsidestranglers,angelo buono,andkenneth bianchi. her interest has now got hold of her because he deliberatly changes his style.
Third murder soon turns up this time,david berkowitz,also known as the son of sam.
