Synopsis:
Monster is based on a true story of a woman (Aileen Wuornos) who was abused as a child and left home at the age of thirteen. As an adult she becomes a serial killer
is captured, tried and put to death.
I would recommend this movie!
Why?
Although this is a very dark movie
about a very disturbed woman who murders five men while engaging in her nightly
rounds as a highway hooker, one must look at her dysfunctional childhood to see
what wrought this mindless monster. This movie is not for children or the faint
of heart. It is certainly a societal tragedy that leaves one numb.
