The Nautilus case

'Those women didn't understand him. They didn't see his sensitive side the way I do.'
I guess ...
There is not a lack of statements from psychologists and psychiatrists about this. They are often interviewed when cases like this come up, but I'm not sure that actual, serious studies have been made.

Psychologist and criminal profiler, Dr Tony Clarke, told news.com.au prison relationships were often a testament to the manipulative ability of the incarcerated inmate.
“There are two groups of women who get involved with prisoners,” he said.
“The self-selected group who write to men in jail and then there’s the women who work in jails. They think [the inmate] is a nice person who has changed and who loves them. [The women who work in jails] then become accomplices who help smuggle things into jail or help them escape.”
“Psychopaths in jail are expert at manipulating people and they specialise with people who have low self esteem. Psychopaths test [these people’s] vulnerability extremely quickly and then exploit them to get what they want … for sex, money or boredom. It’s boring in jail. Once they are out and they no longer need [the woman’s] services, they will frequently beat them.”

A BBC News article has some weird details:

Ms Curpen lives in the Finnish town of Salo with a fellow Russian political exile, Alexei Devyatkin, and they have two infant sons.
(...)
Originally a journalist, Ms Curpen describes herself now as an artist. She told BBC Russian that her marriage to Madsen was genuine, not just part of an "art project" she had announced earlier, which is called: "This is not the Peter we knew".
(...)
Defending her Madsen art project, she wrote in a manifesto: "Supporting the guilty one, calling him a friend, we smash 'normality' into pieces, diversify the symbolic capital of culture, engage in cultural terrorism, essentially the only truly effective form of peaceful resistance."

I never expected a journalist-artist to make such a compelling argument that she's a more garbage person than an actual murderer. But her argument convinces me.

I never expected a 'skeptic' to let the mask slip by suggesting that an emotionally confused woman is a more garbage person than an actual murderer. But your argument convinces me.
 
'Into the Deep', portraying the young helpers at amateur scientist Peter Madsen's workshop and their reckoning with the truth about their mentor after the murder of Kim Wall, will be world-premiering in the World Cinema Documentary Competition at Sundance, kicking off 23 January.

The documentary appears to be available on Netflix
I'm curious about what it's like when a group of tech-savvy people who probably aren't religious or new agey at all begin to worship (?) a psychopath like this. Apparently, the documentary deals with these guys and their attitude to Madsen both before he murdered Kim Wall and after it became apparent to everybody what had happened.
I don't know if a group like this can be described as a cult.
 
The documentary mentioned in other media:

In 2016, Australian filmmaker Emma Sullivan began documenting Peter Madsen's workshop and his quest to launch a rocket into space. One year later, the filming took a tragic turn when Madsen brutally murdered Swedish journalist Kim Wall aboard his homemade submarine. Told from the perspective of the young interns working with Madsen, the film shows their journey as they grasp his true nature and realize how he has abused their trust. These interns provided witness accounts in the court case and Emma Sullivan's footage proved instrumental in the conviction of Peter Madsen.

Sullivan had started researching in 2016 the possibility to film Danish ‘inventor’ Peter Madsen and his goal to become the first amateur astronaut. But one year into the shooting, the events took a dramatic turn when Madsen murdered Swedish journalist Kim Wall on his submarine.The film is an unprecedented revelation of a killer, and the journey his young helpers take as they reckon with their own complicity and prepare to testify.

Into the Deep, which premiered at Sundance last night and will be on Netflix later this year, is the kind of film that, through the dark fortune of timing, starts off as one thing and then proceeds to become something far more important and disturbing, effectively interrogating itself. Sullivan had started filming Madsen a year before the Kim Wall murder.

Another highly-buzzed doc from Sundance 2020 is one of the most remarkable true crime films you’ll see all year, Emma Sullivan’s “Into the Deep,” which started as a profile piece about a rebellious maverick and became a study of a sociopath. Some of the structure here can be a bit unwieldy, but it’s a haunting movie overall, especially in some of the what-ifs it raises and how bluntly it drives home the point that monsters can often hide in plain sight.
(...)
By the now, the story of what Peter Madsen did to Kim Wall is pretty well-known but Sullivan’s immediate, as-it-happens access offers a new appreciation of the world of a madman. Sullivan’s film even became evidence in the trial, as objects Madsen used to mutilate Wall can be seen in her film. It’s a remarkable piece of cinema just in its very existence – we don’t often see interviews with men filmed on the day they killed someone.

Is this only on selected regions of Netflix?
For, I can’t seem to find it on our Netflix in the Netherlands.
 
Also about one of the people who appear in the Madsen documentary:

The filmmaker goes in to tell one tale, and discovers a very different one. A far more disturbing variation of the trend occurs in the documentaries Into the Deep and Happy Happy Joy Joy, which began as celebrations of their subjects (Danish inventor Peter Madsen and Ren and Stimpy creator John Kricfalusi, respectively) before the filmmakers discovered new information late in the game. (Madsen turned out to be a murderer, and Kricfalusi was accused of sexual misconduct.) To add an extra complication to the notion of cameras opening wounds: Since the premiere of Into the Deep, one of Sullivan’s interview subjects has tweeted out that she does not want to be included in the film, as it “would endanger my health due to trauma.” Again: Who gets to tell these stories?

The documentary Into the Deep will probably have to be re-edited before it can be released to a larger audience on Netflix:

Netflix have stalled their plans to release an Australian documentary about Danish murderer Peter Madsen, after multiple people involved said it used footage of two people without their consent, and would re-traumatise and “endanger their health” if it airs.

I am sure Netflix will comply with haste to get this aired to a captive audience.
 
Netflix won't be showing Into the Deep:

Variety Magazine called it "riveting," as well as "restrained, humanist and chilling". It is, the magazine wrote, both “a rare opportunity to study a murderer before his first kill", and "a story of the workers left ashore floundering to understand how they devoted their lives to a fiend”.

But after several of the key participants in the film withdrew their consent, Netflix has decided not to stream the documentary, Sweden's state broadcaster SVT reported on Tuesday evening.
