I once read a book entitled The Ultimate Evil, whose main claim was that David Berkowitz wasn't THE .44 killer but one of a revolving series of murderers sent out by a satanic offshoot of Scientology that called itself The Process! The book was very thick and detailed it's conspiracy theories told very convincingly, detailing very strange stories about this shadowy cult and it's connections to other killings including those of the Manson family! It also talked about suspicious deaths of acquaintances of Berkowitz.
I thought it was very far-fetched but then I saw an hour long A&E show where David Berkowitz himself said it was all true! The reason I'm telling you this is that the whole son of Sam affair is an exploitation goldmine that has yet to be properly mined!
Son Of Sam is better than Ulli Lommel's other serial killer video productions but that's not saying much. This is probably due to the fact that the David Berkowitz story is better suited to the cerebral stylings of our pal Ulli. However, this could have been a helluva lot better with a traditional script and a conspiracy theory angle detailing all the whacked out stories of The Church Of The Process, alleged snuff film of of one of the murders, etcetera.
For more information on why I bothered to watch this, please read my review entitled: Battered Lommel Syndrome in the comment section for Dungeon Girl.
