21 Serial Killer Films To Stream On Netflix

Serial killers are fascinating! Not necessarily because we want to become serial killers ourselves, but because the human mind is simply captivated by the concept of evil. 

Criminologist Dr. Scott Bonn explains that “serial killers excite and enthrall people, much like traffic accidents, train wrecks, or natural disasters. People don’t want to look, but they can’t look away.”
