How accurate is Netflix's "Women of the Hour"? The true story of Cheryl Bradshaw and Rodney Alcala, the serial killer she chose on "The Dating Game."

Do you spin it as a thriller, a true-crime drama, a horror film, a sick pop-culture joke? Actress Anna Kendrick, making her debut as a director, does something fascinating. She juggles all four and then adds a fifth layer undergirding the others: the unceasing dread that comes from being a woman who knows men like Rodney Alcala are out there.

Anna Kendrick's new movie Woman of the Hour takes on the true story of the teacher who went on The Dating Game to find romance and her winning suitor, Rodney Alcala, turned out to be a murderer.
