15 Hidden Documentary Film Gems On Netflix Right Now

7. Interview With A Serial Killer

The Staircase
Netflix

This 45-min documentary delivers a chilling account of the serial murders of Arthur Shawcross, aka the Genesee River Killer, known to have killed at least 14 people. It's a hard-hitting account that lays bare the cold facts and charts the history of the notorious killer.

In the interview segments, Shawcross recounts the grisly details of his atrocious acts, unmoved and unfeeling - his constant blinking the only sign of any inner turmoil - it's completely fascinating and utterly terrifying.

Describing a cold and candid interview with an evil murderer as a hidden gem may seem a little macabre but if you're looking for some honest insight into the mind of a killer, straight from the horse's mouth, Interview With A Serial Killer is about as close as you can get.
