Summary: Not a detailed or fully true account of Richard Ramirez.
Review: A full complete story of killer Richard Ramirez and all of his "Night Stalker" killings has yet to be told. This film is not the one. This is a very poorly-made drama and badly filmed project. The sexual acts and the murders are all shown in a very fast speed. Subliminal quick shots. It goes by too fast for the naked eye to see every frame. You will have to slow down, "step" or frame by frame your DVD playing to see what is going on. Not a very detailed and not much insightful information given in this one. The makers were too carried away with the special effects. This version of Richard Ramirez is all wrong. Even the capture of Ramirez is wrong. He actually was caught in the daytime by one man and the rest of the neighborhood chased after him. This film does not portray that. The special effects of the evilness of Ramirez (the evil spirit shown in special effect) is probably accurate, I mean it sets the tone of what Ramirez is. DVD includes in special features, two deleted scenes. The best version I can recommend to you is MANHUNT: SEARCH FOR THE NIGHT STALKER (1989-TV).

Summary: VERY AVERAGE AND SO NOISY !
Review: Bad acting, bad Sfx, bad directing.It's like the director learns how to film at the same time he was filming using the same camera effects... The SFX are not bad but used too many times so with the very noisy atmosphere they tried to create, it's finally very annoying ! About the Death Metal score, I guess it must be annoying for those who hates this music... And even if Ramirez was listening Metal, it wasn't Death Metal either but more like Iron Maiden,Acdc.. Death Metal and especially the one in the movie, didn't exist in the 80's or at least not in this style ! I am also not very sure the story is accurate to the true events. The end sounds a bit too much, with many improbabilities. Very average movie in my opinion. The actor who incarnates the killer looks much like the real one>

Summary: The WORST movie i have ever seen!
Review: Being a true crime fanatic, i was very much looking forward to this film. I suffered the entire length of this movie and could not have been more disappointed. Firstly, on the back of the DVD, it refers to the killer as 'robert ramirez' not Richard Ramirez. That alone should have prepared me for the levels of authenticity! it is packed to the gills with fiction and the directors/producers/screen writers should have their fingers removed. who ever called "gigli" as the worst movie ever made had obviously never seen this steaming pile of CRAP!

Summary: Not bad 2.5 stars
Review: Could've of been better, but it's not as bad as most reviewers claim it is. I've seen FAR FAR FAR worse movies then this. I say rent it. Watch it alone in the dark.

Summary: The Nightstalker
Review: Horrible, horrible and horrible. This was the worst version of any "truelife" crime movie I have ever seen. What were the directors thinking with all the jumping scences. The story was more focused on the 2 investigating police detectives than the Nightstalker himself. Furthermore, after reading several serial killer articles, books etc, this movie was only about 50% accurate. Don't waste your money.

Summary: Disgrace
Review: I am a true crime/serial killer fanatic. I have not once been able to find a serial killer movie that can portray them correctly. The ending is completely wrong. Ramirez was chased down by a guy after attempting to steal a car.

Summary: Richard Ramirez Meets Jacob's Ladder
Review: I can't help but wonder why filmakers still opt to use that same 'JACOB'S LADDER' fluttering head demon moving really fast trick so often...even to this day.
Basically this film uses THE JACOB'S LADDER effect as if it was still new, still disturbing, still interesting, still fresh, when everyone and there mother has used this effect from HELLRAISER SEQUALS to probably MARTHA STEWART HOME LIVING.
Despite the HEAVY reliance on this effect this film does have it's interesting moments and is not a total loss.
I would have found it more interesting if the story had focused more on Richard Ramirez as a person, rather than on the police officers trying to hunt him down. Cops are largely not always terribly interesting in these types of movies. They are ALWAYS stereotypes...so yeah...all the characters in this are complete stereotypes.
I mean the latina catholic police officer is a bit of an idiot and I can never find sympathy for anyone that stands in front of a cross doing holy signs and expecting divine intervention from stupid idols or someone to protect her from Ramirez.
This film is not great, it's not horrible, it is somewhere in between. It really expects you to buy the fact that Ramirez was possessed by demons and that he was completely bonkers. That is probably a given. Well, maybe not the demons. But the female cop character (although performed extremely well) was just uncessary, and I get really tired of watching the typical tough girl trying to make her place in a man's world scenario play out in every single movie. It's as tired as guys trying to act like James Dean.

Summary: could of been better directed
Review: I got nothing against this film but I believe it would have been five stars 1/2 if they would have stucked with the real facts of ramirez and his victims. If I was the director of this movie, first of all I would not have had a hard ass female cop ( good actress ) but what a joke for the film give me a break! the actress would of been better of playing a victim and danny trejo the nightstalker, I mean check the guy who played ramirez , he looks like a cross between mick jagger and a high school reject.

Summary: Not the worst ever, or even bad at all.
Review: If you're like me and you love a good arty film and could care less about what pleases the masses, than you should have no problem enjoying this film. The inventive camera work alone is worth the purchase. True it's similar to jacobs ladder, but it is used for it's own purpose and it serves the film well. Those who can't handle creative cinematography, stop now and save yourself the headache. Those of us with a taste for the surreal have a lot to chew on. The only real drawbacks of the film are that Ramirez, in life was a real character. He wasn't just a loon, he was an interesting person. It would have been nice to see that side of him expressed in the film. Also, the Sandra Bullock lookalike as the police woman who catches Ramirez. Nice plastic surgery babe. And lastly, the plot didn't stick completely to the facts. However, the essence and the overall story is true. Also the film is sick and disturbing as it should be. You're a hardened person if you can watch this movie without being even remotely disturbed. I did enjoy how the filmmakers portrayed Ramirez's relationship with his demon. A spiritual entity who possesses him and who commands him to kill, but later betrays him and leaves him to be caught. I also loved the Industrial and Death Metal soundtrack which added to the frantic approach. Overall I found it to be a very entertaining film, giving us a glimpse at the psychosis and spiritual struggle within Ramirez rather than a more digestable and "normal" approach. It was wonderfully demented and a good movie. It would have been better if they stuck closer to the facts however.
