Every month, streaming services in Australia add a new batch of movies and TV shows to its library. Here are our picks for May.
‘The Sons of Sam: A Descent Into Darkness’
In the late 1970s, New York was terrorized by a serial killer who dubbed himself “the Son of Sam,” later revealed to be David Berkowitz — an emotionally disturbed man who had dabbled in the occult and claimed he heard voices. The investigative reporter Maury Terry didn’t fully accept the story that Berkowitz acted alone, and in this four-part docu-series, the director Joshua Zeman looks back at what Terry (voiced by Paul Giamatti) uncovered during his years of researching the case. “The Sons of Sam” is about the original Berkowitz spree, but it also documents some chilling patterns of satanic cult activity.
