Gaskins: The Hitchhiker Killer
The film
South Carolina serial killer Donald “Pee-Wee” Gaskins carried out a reign of terror marked by extreme brutality. He stabbed, shot, drowned, and poisoned victims from his own community as well as hitchhikers, often targeting the vulnerable. Beneath the rural land near his home, bodies lay hidden in shallow graves, concealing years of violence. His history of crime masked the depth of his cruelty—until authorities uncovered the truth, exposing the full horror of his murders.
People are split on this brutal true-crime film, with many finding it a standard, if competently made, retelling of the horrific story of South Carolina serial killer Donald "Pee-Wee" Gaskins. It chronicles his reign of terror, from stabbing and shooting to burying victims in shallow graves, but the grim subject matter ultimately lands as just another entry in a crowded genre. While no single element is widely panned, the overall feeling is one of familiarity rather than revelation.
