Netflix loves to present fans of the true crime genre a new film or show to watch. Often, it breaks down what a serial killer did or the case itself. But with Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers, director Emily Turner allowed her subject to do the talking.
Aileen Wuornos was a serial killer who killed at least seven people from 1989-1990. She was a sex worker in Florida and killed and robbed a string of men up until her arrest in January of 1991. While she is one of the very few female serial killers, her story is a complicated one. Wuornos claimed in many of these cases that she was defending herself despite what the public said and it has made her one of the more infamous killers. And the most controversial for how people react to her story.
