If true crime is your thing, there is no shortage of disturbing films and harrowing shows to help scratch your true crime itch. This month, Netflix is gearing up to release chilling new drama The Good Nurse, a film based on the events surrounding American serial killer Charles Cullen.
Cullen was a nurse who worked at nine hosptals in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and is responsible for at least 29 deaths during his 16-year medical career. The film is based on Charles Graeber’s 2013 book of the same name and boasts an Oscar winning cast fronted by Jessica Chastain ( Interstellar ) and Eddie Redmayne ( Fantastic Beasts ).
If that sounds up your street, The Good Nurse is released on Netflix on Wednesday, October 26, and in select cinemas across the UK from Friday, October 21. But what is the real story behind the film?
