Summary: Not as good as I thought it would be
Review: I was reading through the other reviews for this movie and I must agree with one, they should have showed Mr. Gacy as "Pogo". How me seeing this movie came about was,(here comes a long drawn out story)I was in my room watching TV one day when my cousin Ryan calls me, Psyched about a movie he just saw at Best Buy, I asked him what it was and he said it's called "Gacy", as in John Wayne Gacy. I was pumped, but I had no money to get it, so me and him rented it and watched it. I liked it except for not showing him as Pogo, he talks about it but is never shown as him. I loved the scene where he drowned the kid he got the car from, and the kid crawls out of the bathroom and dies right behind John's mom(asleep in a chair) I know my killer trivia but that movie added more to my knowledge than what I already knew. I think it's worth seeing, rent it or buy it, it's pretty good. Well I'm done for now folks, 'till next time. Stay outta trouble. Later

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A good enough movie about about a good enough killer
Review: I went into this movie with some knoledge of John Wayne Gacy and was surprised to see how well protrayed he was, how well the murders were portrayed, and how well the story was portrayed.
A lot of reviewers were not pleased with the movie, but I must say that it was entertaining. Although this is not the movie you go out and buy, it is one worth renting.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I thought it was great!
Review: I'm kind of bummed that so many reviewers here didn't like this movie. I was really surprised because I liked it a lot. About last year when all the serial killer movies were coming out, I couldn't wait for them to make one about Gacy. I thought this was the best of them all. And to me, Gacy is the most intriguing. I didn't know much about the case, and this movie gave me a clearer understanding of who Gacy was and what really happened. So I went out and bought the book "Killer Clown". EEEEWWE, he was a creep! I'm glad I didn't live anywhere near that house. I wonder if it's still there? Imagine living down the street. What a conversation piece. The only "mistake" I noticed was that this film was made in the summertime, and when Gacy was busted it was winter, covered in snow. But this was low budget.

I liked how the movie started off right away. It wasn't boring for a minute. I thought all the actors did a good job, especially Mark Holton. What a talented man.

To all you people who critisize this well-done movie, do YOU think you could have done better?

Summary: Bad, So Bad movie...
Review: It was boring and extremely repulsive movie. We don't get to know more about this famous well infamous serial killer Gacy. It was a drag to watch.

Summary: Where are the details?
Review: Like most of the movies that have been released latily(I.E. Bundy ,Dahmer,Speck, Ed Gein) this was the worst one I saw.This movie was slow movie and not Very interesting, John Gacy was a horrible man who did horrible things. In this movie he was like a bumbling idiot who everybody hated. People around him think he's weird but never challenge him. The story moved slow and jumped over alot of important details of his life thar made him a monster. I know it had no budget, but I've seen better movies of the week!it's just under 90 mins. Save your money, it will end up on late night tv.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Gacy: Not really bad, but rather impressive.
Review: Low-Budget movies seem to be coming out nonstop this year and here yet again is another one, but is Gacy as bad as it seems? Sure this movie has its flaws, but what movie doesn't?

Well lets start off with the plot. The story is the public and secret life of John Wayne Gacy...but it doesn't really cover much of the background of Gacy's childhood. It starts off with Gacy as a teenanger on a camping/fishing trip with his father, but then immediately it goes to Gacy's life when he was married for the 2nd time. We only see a part of Gacy's life before he was caught and exposed for what he had done.

The effects were okay, maybe the directing and lighting wasn't good for some, but I really didn't mind it. I usually never notice these kind of things anyways, I mostly watch for the acting.

Speaking of which, wasn't that great. I mean besides Mark Holton as Gacy himself, the other actors were horrible. Mark Holton was intense and gave great dedication to the character. I think he pulled it off quite well, and I notice that his acting was one of the best highlights of the movie everyone seems to agree on. It was different to see him play such a character, especially when you see him in movies like Pee Wee's Big Adventure and Leprechaun.

Overall I liked 'Gacy' in a way. I wish the movie had covered more about his life, but what it did cover gave me more insight on the serial killer, John Wayne Gacy.

If you've seen this movie around, you should definately rent it first. I don't think it's for everyone, but if you have seen it and you enjoyed it, buy it for your collection.

Summary: If you can't say something nice, say nothing at all..
Review: Mark Holton who you may remember as the bike thief Francis in "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" plays the title character of the famous serial killer John Wayne Gacy. While he has the look and the flamboyance, he simply doesn't cut the mustard as an actor with the skills to play Gacy. His performance isn't at the top of the list indicating the worse things about this movie. Let's continue with the script issues. I'm wondering if they even had one. The pace of the film is sluggish at best. The director resorts to the whole bugs and maggots thing to creep out the viewer. It fails to do so. The editing is unintentionally sketchy and just unprofessionally done. But why is that a surprise, everything about the movie is unintentional. Who makes a bad movie on purpose? Avoid even on a slow night. I recommend the more recent "Monster" with Charlize Theron instead. It deals with what provokes a serial killer and the performance by Theron is unbeatable.

Summary: BRILLIANT! MOVING! award material!
Review: oh yeah, and more ...... this gem elevates "Surf Nazi's Must Die"to 'High Noon" status ...... another infinite waste of plastic ....... honed for sad-teens and the 'unusual'.

Nothing to redeem this fracture, except infinite pity for the unnamed victims ~ maybe that was the director'snd the amateur cast's 'motivation'.....

Oh, so much for Art, Valor and Integrity!

[Even Ed Wood would frown...]

and its not even in wide-screen.......

now ...."Salo"......'
