Nice TV movie that is pleasant to watch and that mainly has to rely on the rather strange story. I knew Agnes Bruckner from Blood and Chocolate (2007) and here too she plays quite ok. But actually that goes for the entire cast.
In short, for a true-life TV drama, this was pretty good.

Particularly weak, especially because the film sticks too much to what actually happened, and that's just not enough material for a film. The title suggests that there is someone who is deliberately murdering women via Craigslist. This turns out not to be the case; the murderer only kills someone because of an unexpected situation, but otherwise turns out not to be particularly murderous. So it's more about his double life. How he is arrested is ultimately not at all exciting, after which we have to wait a while until his fiancée finally accepts that he is not who he is. In short, little tension, which makes it quite boring. Again, the subject matter does not lend itself well to a film, only if it had only loosely based itself on this story, it could have been something. 0.5*.

Actually a very bland serial killer horror. Even without the label also bland as a thriller. So almost disappointing as a whole.
Feels a bit soapy. The film is easy to watch, but that doesn't mean the film is good. The tension remains limited and you don't have to expect much horror.
Acting didn't necessarily stand out to me (in a positive way). There's much better stuff on the market within the genre or the genre of wolf in sheep's clothing.
