In the Sixties, a serial killer prowled the streets of Boston, murdering 13 women over a period of a year and a half, strangling most of his victims with their nylon tights. All of the women were killed in their own homes, and there was no sign of forced entry, which left the police confounded. The victims, who were also sexually assaulted, all lived alone and were aged from 19 to 85.
Now the story of the hunt for this serial killer is the focus of a new film from Hulu, starring Keira Knightly. The trailer for the thriller dropped this week, and it’s been causing a buzz ever since. It shows Knightly’s character, Loretta McLaughlin, a reporter who draws links between three murders that have taken place in two weeks.
