Blu-ray Review - Hollywood 90028
March 18, 2025
1973's "Hollywood 90028" (a.k.a. "Twisted Throats" and "Hollywood Hillside Strangler") is caught between its exploitation interests and its artful intent. It's an odd one from director Christina Hornisher, who doesn't seem particularly interested in making a serial killer story, aiming to avoid the grim details of horror while she inspects a different tale of a man who can't control his rage issues around women. "Hollywood 90028" isn't really a crime story, showing more confidence as a mood piece with great views of Los Angeles in the 1970s. Hornisher works with her locations to generate some atmosphere, while her tale hits a few beats of salaciousness before it returns to mildly engaging relationship woes and assorted professional and personal points of pressure.
