Dear Mr. Gacy

Dear Mr. Gacy (2010) is a Canadian true-crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM, starring William Forsythe as John Wayne Gacy and Jesse Moss as the student who sought him out. Directed by Svetozar Ristovski.

In 1993, criminology student Jason Moss mailed a letter to one of America's most notorious death-row inmates — a calculated gamble he framed as research. Gacy wrote back, then kept writing. The correspondence stretched into phone calls, confessions, and eventually a face-to-face visit weeks before Gacy's execution. What started as a college project exposed Moss to something he hadn't accounted for: the gradual pull of a mind that spent years perfecting how to seem trustworthy.

Forsythe plays Gacy without theatrical menace — the character's danger is in the small talk, the warmth, the way he makes the camera feel like a visitor who's stayed too long. For anyone drawn to psychological crime drama where the real horror is how ordinary evil can sound, stream Dear Mr. Gacy (2010) online on iFILM.
