“Woman of the Hour,” starring and directed by Anna Kendrick, is based on the 1970s crimes of Rodney Alcala — the Dating Game Killer — who may have murdered as many as 130 people.
"Woman of the Hour" depicts a 1978 episode of"The Dating Game" that serial killer Rodney Alcala managed to appear on., but a new movie directed by Anna Kendrick does a number on that familiar genre.
The question posed by Kendrick, making a strong directing debut, and writer Ian McDonald: Is the justice system so screwed up and society so unconcerned with women that a prolific murderer could easily wind up on a game show — and win? She’s envisioned as a struggling actress who’s just moved to LA and takes a job on “The Dating Game” out of desperation.
Same goes for the story of Laura , a woman in the audience who is certain that Alcala killed her best friend and attempts to blow the whistle during the taping.
