The Last Victim (aka Dear Mr. Gacy) on DVD and Blu-ray in March

14 December 2010

The Last Victim (released in the US as Dear Mr. Gacy) is the acclaimed true story adaptation from the producers of Monster about an 18 year-old college student who dares to confront notorious serial killer John Wayne Gacy – triggering a deadly game of cat and mouse and a journey into the darkest realms of the mind.

Starring William Forsythe (The Devil's Rejects, Rob Zombie's Halloween) as John Wayne Gacy, this Anchor Bay Entertainment title is an adaptation of The Last Victim, the memoirs of Jason Moss, (played here by Jesse Moss - Final Destination, The Uninvited), a law student fascinated by serial killers who formed a relationship with Gacy during the killer's last year on Death Row. Sadly, the title of the book took on a poignant new meaning when Jason Moss committed suicide in June 2006. At the time of his death, he was a practicing criminal defense attorney.

The second feature by Yugoslav director Svetozar Ristovski, The Last Victim will be released on UK DVD on 7th March 2011 by Anchor Bay Entertainment at the RRP of £15.99 for the DVD. The Blu-ray price has yet to be confirmed. Extra features will include:

  • Behind-the-scenes featurette The Gacy Files: Portrait of a Serial Killer, a look into the making of the film based on facts of the case from the people that knew him best, featuring interviews with cast and crew and friends of John Wayne Gacy;
  • Teaser & theatrical trailers.
