The #1 Thriller On Hulu Is Based On Shocking True Crimes: “This is one of the best movies I’ve ever seen”

Boston Strangler

True crime is big, and movies based on real-life events are always trending. There is also a massive amount of horror fans who specifically dig this type of media. So, it is no surprise that the #1 thriller on Hulu is Boston Strangler.

Synopsis

Loretta McLaughlin was the reporter who first connected the murders and broke the story of the Boston Strangler. She and Jean Cole challenged the sexism of the early 1960s to report on the city’s most notorious serial killer.

Boston Strangler is written and directed by Matt Ruskin. It stars Keira Knightley, Carrie Coon, Chris Cooper, David Dastmalchian, and Alessandro Nivola.

The case involved a serial rapist and killer who murdered at least 13 women between 1962 and 1964. Victims ranged from 19 to 85 years old. Because there were never signs of forced entry into the homes, he was originally called the “Phantom Strangler.” There has been an ongoing debate on if the man in custody is the actual killer.
