Netflix is set to release 'Woman of the Hour' on October 18, a film directed by and starring Anna Kendrick in her feature debut. The movie tells the chilling true story of the 'Dating Game Killer,' Rodney Alcala, who was a contestant on the game show while in the midst of a murder spree in the 1970s. It explores the disturbing dynamic between Alcala and Sheryl Bradshaw, the woman who chose him for a date, highlighting themes of misogyny and the failure to heed women's warnings during that era. The film premiered at last year's Toronto International Film Festival and has garnered a 90% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, praised for its blend of black comedy and thriller elements. Kendrick's direction aims to critique Hollywood's treatment of women's voices while portraying the sinister nature of Alcala's crimes. Daniel Zovatto plays Alcala, delivering a performance that is anticipated to be both chilling and impactful.
