5. The Iceman Tapes: Conversations with a Killer
Site Score: 2, IMDb Score: 10 Overall Score: 12
Directed by Arthur Ginsberg and Tom Spain
Year: 1992
The story of Richard Kuklinski aka The Iceman is morbidly fascinating one. His transformation from a serial killer to a Mafia hitman and from that to a criminal boss has all the elements of a Hollywood crime thriller. He managed to keep his criminal activities hidden while on having a wife and three children and keeping the façade of a loving family man for 30 years. He was convicted of 5 murders, but according to his own statements, he killed between 100 and 250 people. In a chilling interview, he reveals his secrets to the audience, although some would argue that some of them are best kept uncovered. Still, The Iceman Tapes: Conversations with a Killer is a fascinating insight into a serial killer’s mind and a fifth place on our list of best serial killer documentaries on Netflix streaming in 2015.
