Plot: This British TV documentary covers the life and crimes of Canada's most prolific serial killer, Robert "Willy" Pickton.
My rating: 8.5/10
Will I watch it again? Yes.
This 45 minute British TV documentary is on YouTube and I can't find any information outside of the credits at the end of the program. It shows that it was produced for Bio. The Biography Channel in 2009 but since A&E is American and this program is British, A&E most likely bought this for their channel. Anyway, it's British and making cracker jack compelling TV documentaries about serial killers is what they do. I've seen a lot of them and rarely have I come across one that wasn't concise, loaded with information, well-paced and compelling as shit. This is no exception. After watching THE PIG FARM (2011) I found this 43 minute gem on YouTube and watched it immediately after and it's a much better made film. Sure, the production is much more dramatic and urgent but that helps ramp up the horror. I also learned some stuff from this one that I didn't from THE PIG FARM and the latter is twice the length this one is. I would recommend watching this shorter documentary first and then moving onto THE PIG FARM to get more out of it. It's not a contest but this doc is more compelling, interesting and entertaining. I loved it!
