The opening scene of the new Netflix documentary Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers is freaky because Aileen Wuornos comes across as so personable. The film, which is available to stream now with a Netflix subscription, is just the latest serial killer-based content to drop on the streamer. Wuornos’ story is well-known, especially after Charlize Theron won an Oscar for playing the killer in 2003’s Monster. Still, I realized something I never had before about Wuornos, and it’s disturbing in a way that the other interviews with serial killers I’ve watched weren’t.
