Charlize Theron explodes in a magnetic performance as convicted killer Aileen Wuournos. Severely abused and unloved, Aileen immersed herself in the dangerous world of highway prostitution... until she met Selby Wall (Christina Ricci), a naive girl who was Aileen's last chance at a normal life. But ultimately all Aileen understood was violence and nobody imagined the nightmare that awaited the seven men standing in the way of her happiness. (Via Vision Entertainment)
