i guess a movie was inevitable. i remember every day of this horror, and was living in florida. the terror in a nice college town was palpable. parents worried sick, students leaving town during the class year.
the parents of the victims probably hate the idea of this graphic tacky low-budget movie. their children were butchered and posed. one beheaded and her head placed on a bookcase so that authorities would see it before anything else.
i waited many years to see danny rolling executed. (they were thoughtful enough to do it on my birthday.) he was. it's not enough.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- A feature horror film based on the true story of serial killer Danny Rolling, who terrorized Gainesville in 1990, will premiere at Gator Cinemas in Gainesville on Sunday night.
The story begins with Rolling’s release from prison in 1989 and ends with the murder of his last victim. In a year’s time, Rolling killed eight people in two states and shot and severely wounded his father, a move that prompted him to flee his hometown of Shreveport, La.
Rolling ended up in Gainesville in August 1990, murdering and mutilating five University of Florida students and effectively terrorizing the entire city.
Spencer Mann, who acted as one of the chief investigators in the Gainesville murders, said he remembers the fright and panic instilled in the quiet community two decades ago.
"I've been to a lot of murders over the past 30 years. I can never recall anything remotely close to the homicides," Mann said. "It was a very difficult time. This community became gripped in fear."
