I'm aware of the Gainesville Ripper story and it's truly disturbing. I was really looking forward to an engaging serial killer crime documentary but within two minutes, out came the "Ghostbusters" with their detectors, sensors, beepers and all the fake banging noises ..etc *eye rolls and a sigh* Danny Rolling's victims suffered some unspeakable horror, but they were merely background characters in this disrespectful pantomime on their graves. There was hardly any focus on the police investigation. I didn't finish to the end and just found a YouTube documentary instead that I could take seriously!

Why??! Please why!
Complete clap-trap garbage
This is in NO way "explores the horrific story of serial killer Danny Rolling, aka The Gainesville Ripper, who believed he was a possessed by a demon and whose gruesome crime spree inspired the blockbuster film, Scream."
If you're looking for that, it may be able to be obtained elsewhere, but it's not here. There is literally about 10 minutes of actual documentary as stated in the description. The rest of the 87 minute runtime is spent chasing paranormal nonsense from "Danny's campsite" to "Danny's childhood home." All the usual tropes and suspects are there, the ghost meters flashing and making noises, someone TELLING you what a demon just said in a distorted voice through a demon translator device, beeps and boops, and creepy music, and a guy in a ski mask running around performing, I guess, reenactments of Danny's peeping behavior, each time he's on screen, ending with him staring right at the camera for an extended period of time.
If this is your thing, great, but I expected an ACTUAL documentary. If I didn't know the back story beforehand, I wouldn't even know how the Gainesville Ripper story applied to Scream, from watching this. This gives no indication except both have murders. Dumbest thing I've watched/fast-forwarded through in a long time.
Scream: The Fakest Story
It's the usual fake stuff, so fake that it makes you laugh until you cry of frustration. Didn't expect anything more, but maybe something a bit more entertaining.
It's the usual: we won't script anything and you'll sit there in sensory deprivation saying what you feel while wearing airpods and like totally don't hear me at all and we won't edit this or preplan.
We surely have equipment that says things from beyond the grave and we'll even have demonologist to fix everything afterwards so the poor people living here can get some peace.
There's no story here, don't waste your time. If you've seen these charlatans doing their thing you know how it goes. And these don't even make it entertaining.
