Dear Mr. Gacy

Dear Mr. Gacy is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video, and its case-by-case structure never gets in the way of the bigger story. It knows exactly what kind of film it is from the opening scene, and never loses that thread. With 84 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. William Forsythe anchors it, but the writing does the real work. Available now on Amazon Prime Video — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Dear Mr. Gacy is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Dear Mr. Gacy treats its mystery as a means, not an end in itself. A chronicle of the interaction between college student Jason Moss and the object of his obsession, serial killer John Wayne Gacy. Credit to William Forsythe and Jesse Moss for grounding it — this is a cast that earns the twists. Dear Mr. Gacy came out in 2010. What distinguishes the best crime dramas from the rest is whether the character work can carry scenes where the mystery takes a breath — Dear Mr. Gacy passes that test consistently. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

For anyone who wants their crime drama to earn its twists, Dear Mr. Gacy delivers. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. William Forsythe anchors it, but the writing does the real work. If you are going to commit to one crime drama this month, make it this one.

Dear Mr. Gacy was released in 2010, directed by Svetozar Ristovski. The full 103-minute film is available to watch now.
