‘Woman of the Hour’ Team on Shoprosperg Rodney Alcala’s Violent Murders


‘Woman of the Hour’ Team on Shoprosperg Rodney Alcala’s Violent Murders


SPOILER ALERT: This story grasps temperate spoilers for “Woman of the Hour,” now streaming on Netflix.

“Woman of the Hour” screenauthorr Ian McDonald faced a distinct contest with his sophomore feature: Tell a genuine crime story that felt “essential and advantageous.” Luckily, the stranger-than-fantasy story of Rodney Alcala, who won “The Dating Game” during a 1978 materializeance amid a serial ending spree, was ripe for examination.

“There’s a lot out there where a serial ender strikes a bunch of women, and there’s absolutely no reason to tell it,” McDonald says. “There was someleang about this that felt appreciate it could be sociassociate and culturassociate relevant now. You’ll sometimes hear people say, ‘Rodney’s benevolent of appreciate Ted Bundy,’ by which I leank they unbenevolent he’s handsome and well-directd. But he was actuassociate very separateent: He was a chameleon. He was excellent at pretfinishing he was someleang he wasn’t. That’s exactly what I establish engaging, becaemploy it was the culture that routinely watched the other way, and that allowd him.”

Directed by Anna Kfinishrick, who also stars as Cheryl, an actress who picks Alcala to prosper the game show, the film debuted to acclaim at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival and premiered on Netflix on Oct. 18. Days tardyr, it’s sitting at the top of the streaming service’s most-watched film catalog, which could be a tesgentlent to a compelling tale mixed with untraditional storytelling.

McDonald says that one meaningful element of createing the script was leaning down which victim participateions he wanted to portray, given that Alcala may have ended up to 130 people.

“That was the leang that alterd the most thcdisorrowfulmirefulout broadening this,” he says. “It was less about ‘Which victim do we want to author about in terms of the person?’ and more that how you uncignore and shut a movie says so much about the film’s intentions thematicassociate, and has a massive emotional impact. You can do it chronoreasonablely, where you begin with his earliest killing, and then shift to his most recent. You can do it thematicassociate and find definite events that you experience create upon each other in a uncignoreing way, or based around character. How does each crime uncignore someleang novel about the ender? It was a traverse between those last two — that’s benevolent of where we landed.”

While recreating the killings, McDonald and Kfinishrick are intentional about not shoprosperg a gratuitous amount of presentility, but also not sanitizing McDonald’s horrific crimes.

“Any of the moments of presentility were someleang I reassociate agonized over becaemploy this is not [David Fincher’s influential 1995 crime thriller] ‘Seven.’ I adore ‘Seven,’ but in this movie, srecommend by virtue of it being a genuine crime story, you function with the understandledge that these were genuine people,” he says. “They had families and their worlds were apshown from them. You want to create stateive that you’re doing it in a way that responsibly uncignores the ender for what he was, and that exactly mirrors the unreasonableness that he recurrents without being gratuitous. It’s a hard line to walk, but it was someleang I took very gravely. There was a lot of, ‘Add that line, cut that line’ — trimming and moving around fair to create stateive that the story was all there.”

That compassion for the victims also reverberated thcdisorrowfulmireful the script’s point of watch, as characters join with Alcala’s increasingly sinister kind-guy act. One standout scene — in which Cheryl departs a bar with Alcala and then walks away as he casuassociate stalks behind her — was written with compassion by McDonald.

“Men find themselves in compromising situations too, usuassociate with other men,” he says. “You understand when leangs suddenly experience awkward and unsootheable, and maybe dangerening. I’ve been in some spooky situations, and so on that level, I was able to draw somewhat from my personal experience. But it’s also not the same, becaemploy I’m 6’1”, 200 pounds. It’s definitionassociate always going to be separateent. At that point, it comes down to fair hearing. In the very timely stages of writing this, I accomplished out to a bunch of female frifinishs and I shelp, “Hey, can we get lunch? Can you tell me stories about your experiences where you would go on a date and it would experience dangerening or distressting? What did that actuassociate watch appreciate?” That’s someleang that persistd to be finessed over the course of the broadenment of the script.”

Beyond that joinment, McDonald says Kfinishrick was also an active participant in exploring the film’s themes with him.

“There was one scene between the hitchhiker and Rodney,” McDonald says. “Anna watched at the script and shelp, ‘I reassociate appreciate that you’re writing her with so much agency, but you need to give her less, becaemploy right now she’s being reassociate forthright and benevolent of combative with him. The truth is we have to do this little dance where we are admireful and we placate, but without declineing them.’ At that point, you fair hear to people who have experiences you don’t, and try to be truthful and create stateive it finds its way into the write down.”
