A
true-crime horror deep dive into a grim, under-seen cult title:
Confessions of a Serial Killer (shot in
1985, directed by
Mark Blair)—a film rooted in the Henry Lee Lucas mythology, where the horror isn’t a monster… it’s a man calmly telling you what he did.
In this episode, hosts
Henrique Couto and
Rachael Redolfi break down what makes this movie so unsettling: the low-rent, almost-documentary texture; the blunt confessional structure; and the way it drags you through a nightmare that feels
too plausible to dismiss.
Inside this episode- Why the “confession” framing can feel scarier than a traditional slasher
- The Henry Lee Lucas connection—and what the film does and doesn’t resemble about the real-world story
- The ethics of exploitation cinema vs. effective horror: when the lack of style becomes the style
- What lingers after the credits: dread, banality, and the sickening calm of “just another guy”
