Recently finished re-watching Wonderland (2003), starring Val Kilmer (as adult film star John Holmes), Lisa Kudrow, Kate Bosworth, Ted Levine - and others. The is an excellent film based on the true-crime grisly "Wonderland" murders in LA back in July 1981. The film does an amazing job of recreating the early 1980's era & LA locale, and the 1970's/early 1980's soundtrack is spot-on as well. Great acting & story also.
Agree completely that this is a good companion piece to watch along with Boogie Nights (1997), another great film about that era.
After re-watching the film & doing some research on the crime, it definitely looks like JH was involved in what happened. However, it's not clear to what extent. I guess we'll never know what exactly happened that day.
