‘Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story’ Off To Slower Start Than ‘Ed Gein’ As ‘Crew Girl’ Surges On Netflix Weekly TV Rankings

After binge-watching the latest season of "Monster," many viewers may find themselves eager to explore more films centered around female serial killers. Here are five notable movies that offer a diverse range of perspectives on these harrowing stories.

First, there's the Oscar-winning 2003 film "Monster," starring Charlize Theron as Aileen Wuornos. Theron's transformative performance as the notorious killer garnered critical acclaim and an Academy Award. This film is particularly recommended for those who enjoyed Sarah Paulson's portrayal of Wuornos in the Netflix series.

Another option is "Lizzie," released in 2018 and starring Chloë Sevigny as the titular character. This film delves deeper into the Lizzie Borden case, providing a slower-paced narrative that focuses on the relationship between Lizzie and her maid, Bridget Sullivan, who may have been her inspiration for the murders.

For a more lighthearted take on the genre, consider "Carrie." Based on Stephen King's classic novel, this 1976 adaptation features the telekinetic powers of a teenage girl who is struggling with adolescence and bullying. The movie offers a unique blend of horror and drama, with Sharon Stone delivering a memorable performance as Carrie's telekinetic abilities manifest in a different way.

Lastly, "Basic Instinct" (1992) is a must-watch for fans of the series. Starring Sharon Stone as the seductive and cunning crime novelist Catherine Tramell, the film is a classic erotic thriller. Catherine's manipulative nature and Catherine's complex relationship with the investigating detective keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Stone's iconic performance and the film's suspenseful atmosphere make it a standout choice to follow "Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story."
