Charmed by the Devil

Charmed by the Devil is a crime documentary centered on a journalist's decades-long effort to understand why one of the most prolific killers committed his crimes. The investigation spans roughly forty years and produces a large archive of secret recordings, through which the killer's own account of his life and actions emerges.

The film runs 84 minutes and was released in December 2025 in the United States, where it was produced by Glass Entertainment Group. It is presented as part of the crime documentary tradition, built around first-person testimony and recorded confessions rather than dramatic reconstruction. The project draws on interviews with the killer himself, giving the audience direct access to his voice across hundreds of hours of material.

Audience response on IMDb stands at 6.7 out of 10 from around 55 votes, while on TMDB the rating is 6.0 out of 10 based on roughly 20 votes. The two scores sit close to each other, indicating a moderate and fairly consistent reception among those who have seen it. With such modest vote counts, the ratings reflect the views of a small initial audience rather than a broad consensus. The combination of a long investigative timeline and an extensive body of recorded confession shapes the film's approach, placing the killer's own words at the center of the account.
