REVIEW | Is the killer bachelor No. 1 or No. 2? Anna Kendrick’s chilling ‘Woman of the Hour’

Quick Summary:

In Anna Kendrick’s "Woman of the Hour,” a chilling, based-on-a-true-story drama about when a 1970s serial killer appeared on an episode of "The Dating Game,” one of the most telling images isn’t a grisly murder scene (though there are those).

When Cheryl is thrust into the showbiz swirl of “The Dating Game,” all of the sexist remarks and misogynistic underpinnings of the show appear only more sinister given Alcala’s presence.

Though Zovatto’s performance is compellingly unsettling without being over-the-top, the dark, disturbed nature of Alcala is too much for “Woman of the Hour” to reckon with.
