Many of the new Netflix viewers watched the crime documentary Night hunter The serial killer seems to think of Richard Ramirez with the series going too far and with the exploitation of many of Ramirez’s victims.
The four-part series was bound to include a good deal of graphic images based on subject matter only. Ramirez was eventually convicted of 13 counts of murder, five counts of murder, 11 counts of sexual assault and 14 counts of theft. Their victims ranged from small children to octagonal. He attacked them with everything but a gun, gun, knife, throat, a matchbox, a tire iron, a hammer and a kitchen sink using his hands.
Ramirez, who claimed to be a Satanist, was completely ruthless in his attacks and was eventually sentenced to 19 death sentences.
However, the new Netflix documentary, while riveting (I’ve seen it) appears to show pictures of the crime scene of Ramirez’s victims with a bare minimum of censorship – something that many viewers believe goes too far and dead Shows little sympathy for. .
Watching the new Netflix Night Stalker series. They are not required to include victim crime scene photos and slo-mo blood splitter shots.

I agree. People like to see gore, and others will accomplish it. But at one point, the decisions of entertainment makers should uphold morality over audience / desire for money. There is no doubt, other murderers who could “turn on” by watching.

We started watching the Night Stalker show and I feel like this is soo exploitative. The amount they use photographs of the crime scene is, frankly, gross. So focused on being stylistic

Currently watching the Night Stalker documentary and I have never felt so scared …. and also how the families of the victims in this documentary can talk to so many love and high victims and get them to the real crime scene Pictures show ?!

The night hunter dock is very problematic. It recounts crime scene photographs of the victims, as if it is the opening credits for a David Fincher film rather than in real life. It’s a shame that the reporting is really good, but I think there is a need to chase those true criminals

Netflix’s Night Stalker: The Hunt for a serial killer is a well-made retail of a horror summer in LA. But unlike most reputation true-crime, it is non-significant of law enforcement. It also horrifically displays crime scene pictures on screen.

They are not wrong. However, this is not too surprising given the nature of Ramirez’s crimes.
In an interview (below) discussing the making of the documentary series, director Tiller Russell discusses how he tried to glorify Richard Ramirez or his crimes.
Interestingly, the way Russell says he did not try to convince Ramirez, he was not even revealing his name until police discover his identity.
[Possible spoilers below. Perfect to watch after you’ve gotten through the entire four-part series.]
