I have been obsessed with Richard Ramirez from the time his story came out. I was a teenager in the 80s when the world learned of his killings. I have read every book and watched everything that involved him. I know as much about him as a person can. This movie veers off the story line of Richards life completely. The actor tries but only as much as the script allows him. I felt bad for him trying to carry this movie alone but he's only allowed to do what the writer wants or let someone else have the job. Richard was not like this movie in any way. I don't know where this person came up with all this but it was not following Richard Ramirez. Do yourself a favor and skip this. Lou Diamond Phillips does a very convincing job as Richard. No one will ever be like Richard but he's as good as we have now. I have never heard of Richard sucking on blow pops constantly what about breaking into houses at night and raping women ? This movie is a joke. He came out at night stole cars took drugs and killed people he didn't follow girls in parks. I wish I could make a movie and when I called it the Nightstalker people would know I had done my homework on the man.
