Demented N 11/13/2023 No just no a sick story should not be dramatised. Them poor women See more 01/16/2021 Great movie to watch with your family See more 04/12/2016 Americans seem to have a fascination with true crime stories. All you have to do is watch TLC or Discovery Investigative for more than an hour to find that out. These stories are often over sexualized and overly graphic retellings of real crimes and killers. This movie is no exception. While true crime and murder stories do and can work, this one feels like they just through their hands up in the air and said, "Fuck it, if you want sleaze we've got sleaze!" The basic premise of a young obviously mentally unstable person being manipulated and controlled by a much more dominate and sadistic person is a good one. Seeing a person with violent tendencies slowly morph into a full on psycho has potential, yet they rarely take advantage of it. Now there are bits in here that do have a charm in the way other brutal crime movies also have, but they are few and far between. It just goes to show that family can be the most influential aspect of life. Wither or nor that's a good thing depends on the family. See more 06/09/2013 I thought this movie was done right! It is especially good if you know the true story. The acting was way above average and contains strong violent moments that are sometimes hard to watch. Check out the creepy song during the end credits by Earthlings! See more 03/23/2013 It's hard to really like a film about women being raped and murdered, so lets just say it's a decent film depicting atrocious events. This film is gritty and depraved throughout, but historically interesting. See more 01/21/2013 Awful and offensive explitation flick which revels in being nasty and rooting for the two killers while the victims are shown to be asking for it,which is totally wrong on every level. C Thomas Howell and Nicholas Tuturro do try with their roles but the whole thing is soo unpleasant thats you reallly which the filmakers hadnt bothered making the film. It feels sleazy and has nothing to say about the plight of the victims and their families it just seems to say wow look at how reppellent these guys are. A film with no redeeming features which belongs in a dustbin. See more Read all reviews
