Netflix’s Woman of the Hour zeroes in on the real-life 1970s serial killer Rodney Alcala, who once appeared on the popular television show The Dating Game in an episode hosted by Cheryl Bradshaw. Alcala is played by Daniel Zovatto, with Anna Kendrick making her directorial debut and starring as Cheryl. The film offers a unique take on the true-crime genre by focusing on survivors instead of the perpetrator’s backstory.
