Synopsis
The Craigslist Killer (2011) is a true-crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Stephen Kay. It reconstructs the case of Philip Markoff, a Boston medical student whose spotless résumé sat over a second life.
In public he's a charming honors student with a fiancée and a wedding only weeks away. Alone, he's sinking under gambling debts and setting up meetings with women through Craigslist ads — encounters that slide into robbery and worse inside anonymous hotel rooms. Jake McDorman underplays the split, which makes the moments it cracks open hit harder. Agnes Bruckner and William Baldwin fill out the people around him.
Made for television off a headline case from the late 2000s, the film bets on the distance between Markoff's two lives rather than on gore. It's a tight, unfussy crime drama for anyone drawn to stories of the quiet neighbor no one suspected. Stream The Craigslist Killer (2011) online on iFILM.
