Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers

Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers (2025) is a documentary you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Emily Turner and Kirsty Cunningham. Female serial killers are statistically rare; Aileen Wuornos is the one name almost everyone recognises.

Between autumn 1989 and late 1990, seven men were shot dead along Florida highways — Wuornos claimed self-defence each time. The filmmakers trace back through a childhood marked by abandonment and exploitation, then forward to the confessions she recorded on death row before her 2002 execution. Journalist Michèle Gillen, who interviewed Wuornos during the original investigation, provides first-hand testimony that trial records alone can't supply. Where pop culture froze Wuornos as a monster, this documentary pries the story open. Stream Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers (2025) on iFILM.
