In the latest episode of the FILMS I OWN BUT HAVEN'T WATCHED YET podcast, a special spin-off from WN MOVIE TALK PODCAST, I dive into another film from my ever-expanding DVD collection. This week, I randomly selected the true crime movie "Wonderland," based on the Wonderland murders and the connection to 70s porn star John Holmes. Join me as I watch it for the first time and share my review!
"Wonderland" (2003) is a true crime drama directed by James Cox. The film delves into the infamous Wonderland murders of 1981, a brutal quadruple homicide that shocked Los Angeles. The story is told through the perspective of various individuals involved, with a central focus on John Holmes (Val Kilmer), a former porn star whose life of excess and addiction draws him into the violent world of crime. As Holmes becomes entangled with a dangerous gang and the victims of the Wonderland Avenue murders, the film explores the chaotic and dark side of fame, drugs, and betrayal. Featuring a strong ensemble cast including Kate Bosworth, Lisa Kudrow, and Dylan McDermott, "Wonderland" offers a gritty and compelling look at one of Hollywood's most notorious crimes.
