When the Screaming Starts
When Norman Graysmith is invited into the home of an aspiring serial killer, Aidan Mendle, he believes he has the subject for the documentary that will make his career.

I typically love a good mockumentary. This one follows a would-be serial killer (meaning he hasn’t as yet actually murdered anyone) in an attempt to capture a true-crime documentary that is contemporaneous with the crimes themselves. It’s a funny enough premise, but as is typical with comedies, your mileage will vary depending on how much the humor lands with you. Unfortunately, not a whole lot of it landed for me. I could see people having a good time with it. It’s well made and had fitting performances. Worth giving a shot to see if the humor works for you.
