Chilling Charmers: A Criminologist's Take on Movie Serial Killers - More Losers than Hannibal Lecters?

Article by: Olivia Hughes, a.k.a Cinephile from Sydney, Australia

Video Title: Criminologist Reviews Serial Killers From Movies & TV | Vanity Fair

Channel: Vanity Fair

Ever wondered what a criminologist would say about your favorite on-screen serial killers? Well, Vanity Fair has made this morbidly delightful thought a reality in their video featuring David Wilson, a seasoned criminologist, as he dissects iconic cinematic and TV murderers. From the meticulous Zodiac to the brooding Dexter, Wilson critiques these characters not just for their on-screen antics but their believability, which, let’s face it, can sometimes be as thin as cheap Halloween mask. The video, which has garnered over 8 million views, delves into a variety of infamous killers, even making an unfortunate detour into the melodramatic world of 'Riverdale.' A highlight—or perhaps a lowlight—features Wilson enduring this teen drama, prompting one empathetic viewer to comment on the sheer resilience required to analyze such a clip. Despite the grim topic, Wilson's insightful and occasionally humorous commentary, like calling notorious killers 'losers,' offers a refreshing take on the typical glorification seen in media. He stresses focusing more on the victims than the killers, a noble thought that adds a layer of gravitas to his reviews. However, while his expertise is undeniable, the video’s leap from deep analyses to quick snippets could leave viewers wanting a more consistent flavor of critique.

Pros

Provides expert insights into the portrayal of serial killers in the media.
Engages with humor and a critical eye, avoiding glorification of crime.
Highlights the need to focus on victims rather than glamorizing perpetrators.

Cons

Inconsistencies in depth of analysis across different characters.
The inclusion of less critically acclaimed shows like 'Riverdale' might detract from the overall quality.
Some viewers might find the subject matter too dark or the treatment too light.
