The Boston Strangler

Poster for The Boston Strangler

Why did 13 women willingly open their doors to the Boston Strangler? This is a true and remarkable motion picture.

Film Synopsis

The Boston Strangler (1968) places a state-appointed investigator at the head of a multi-agency manhunt after a series of women are murdered across Boston. With few reliable clues and growing pressure on the authorities, the inquiry passes through numerous suspects before narrowing its attention to one man. This fact-based crime procedural uses Boston locations and elaborate multiple-image compositions to evoke citywide alarm before tightening into a psychological study.
