The Hunt For The BTK-killer stars Robert Forster (Jackie Brown) and tells the tale of the capture of a serial killer who vanishes and returns 20 years later for no apparent reason. But he makes one mistake, evidence is found which connects the local church to Dennis L. Rader, the notorious BTK(Bondage, Torture, Kill)killer who happens to be a married family-man. An exciting and thrilling story, well executed with a very decent cast. Like "The Capture Of The Green River Killer" this is one of the better serial-killer movies based on true events. The actor playing Dennis Rader is really eerie realistic, he also does look a lot like the real Dennis Rader.

This is a movie that many people will like. Check it out, you won't be sorry.
