Netflix's Woman of the Hour, which stars Anna Kendrick, tells a gripping and terrifying true story, and audiences will want to know what happened.

The so-called Dating Game killer was responsible for multiple murders in the 1970s. So how did he end up on a dating show?

Anna Kendrick's Woman of the Hour, based on a true story, sees a game show contestant (played by Kendrick) interact with a serial killer.

The movie, which premiered at last year's Toronto International Film Festival, currently has a score of 90% on Rotten Tomatoes. According to our own Woman of the Hour review, the film "is an acutely observed, well-judged, and original take on a popular genre."

A new trailer for Woman of the Hour has been released for the new Netflix thriller movie that is directed by Anna Kendrick, who also stars in the film. It will be released on the streaming service this coming October.

In Netflix’s Woman of the Hour, Anna Kendrick plays a contestant on The Dating Game who picks a serial killer as her winner—and it’s inspired by a shocking true story.

In the late 1970s, Rodney Alcala appeared on the popular TV series The Dating Game. He had secretly murdered and brutally raped multiple women before he participated in the show.

Actors Anna Kendrick and Nicolette Robinson sit down with Hoda and Jenna to talk about working together on the new Netflix film “Woman of the Hour.” Kendrick also talks about the possibility of a “Pitch Perfect” reunion in the upcoming future.
