DVD Synopsis
The disturbing tale of the depraved serial killer known as B.T.K. (bind-torture-kill) comes to the screen in this true crime shocker starring Kane Hodder. Dennis Rader (Hodder) was a true wolf in sheep's clothing. An upstanding citizen and family man who served as president of his Wichita, Kansas church, Rader was a trusted member of his community who worked as a security officer. But just beneath Rader's carefully crafted, suburban father façade lurked a malevolent alter ego, a killer without a conscience who never distinguished between men, women, and children when his murderous rage took hold. Inspired by actual events, B.T.K. takes us into the terrifying world of a madman who kept his dark secret from becoming public for over thirty years. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Although the film is watchable, I was disappointed before the movie started when I read, during the opening credits, that the film was "a fictional story based on a real character". In other words, this is not what really happened, nor does the writer/producer/director care about what really happened. The name of the real-life killer is retained, as are other details, but the killings themselves are fictional. Better to stick with a movie that attempts to relate the true story.
