VIDEO – 3.75/5, AUDIO – 3.5/5

The movie is presented with an anamorphic 1.78 widescreen aspect ratio and given a standard but serviceable Dolby Digital 2.0 track.

OVERALL – 2.5/5

Overall, Dating Game Killer was Investigation Discovery’s attempt into the made-for-TV route, perhaps seeing the success its sister company, Lifetime, were doing. Not sure how the ratings were for this one, but based on the final product, it’s finely acted but not a terribly engaging crime-thriller. The DVD released by Lionsgate is rather basic with no features.
