The Sons of Sam: A Descent Into Darkness, American crime documentary miniseries is streaming online, Watch on Netflix with English subtitles, release date 5th May, 2021.
After the capture of David Berkowitz, the notorious serial killer at large in 1977, the city of New York breathed a sigh of relief. Calling himself, “Son of Sam” and christened by the media as the “.44 Caliber Killer” due to the weapon he used, David Berkowitz used his almost celebrity like status to talk to the media about the “Sons of Sam”.
Due to the nature of the killings and Berkowitz’s own words, this triggered a conspiracy theory that is still prevalent to this day. Due to public outcry and lack of “follow through” by the New York Police Department, the case regarding the Sons of Sam was reopened, but was suspended indefinitely due to inconclusive findings. This case became the lifelong obsession for journalist Maury Terry, who became convinced that these murders were linked to a satanic cult.
Narrated by Paul Giamatti.
Directed by Joshua Zeman.
