Synopsis

Boston Strangler (2023) is a crime thriller and detective drama you can watch online on iFILM. Keira Knightley plays Loretta McLaughlin, the reporter who first connected a string of murders rattling Boston in the early 1960s.

Her editors stick Loretta on the lifestyle desk, yet she spots what detectives missed: the strangled victims scattered across the city share one signature. Teaming up with seasoned colleague Jean Cole, played by Carrie Coon, she breaks the story that gave the killer his name and pays for it with her career, her marriage and her own safety. When Albert DeSalvo is arrested, the harder question lingers: is he really the man.

Director Matt Ruskin built the film from records of a case that, decades on, still has no clean ending. Cold light, clattering typewriters, two women elbowing into a male newsroom in 1962. Chris Cooper and Alessandro Nivola round out the cast. Stream Boston Strangler (2023) online on iFILM.
