Running Time: 169 minutes

This film from 20th Century Studios is premiering Friday, March 17 exclusively on Hulu.

In the early 1960s, the Greater Boston area was terrorized by a killer who randomly targeted and strangled women. A 1968 feature film chronicled the figure and was released just a year after a suspect was successfully prosecuted for the crimes.

Boston Strangler is “inspired by” the exploits of the reporters who first broke the story and tries to present a new take on the events. The movie is handsomely mounted and well-acted, but is neither as chilling or gripping as hoped for.

Loretta McLaughlin (Keira Knightley) is a journalist...
