Takes the concept of dramatic re-enactments and applies a level of stylistic showmanship rarely seen in documentaries.

Rated: B

[Love] has a decidedly unique and outlandish tale to tell, and he gussies it up with a surplus of style, employing a flashy non-fiction approach that doesn't always jibe with the material at hand, but certainly keeps things lively.

Unfortunately, the film is so tightly coiled around atmospheric re-enactments -- which are undeniably evocative, but stagnating -- and an undulating "he said, she said" narrative, that it fails to deliver much of a bite.

Unlike some viewers, I didn't need subtitles to understand a single speaker in this doc. I heard them just fine. I just wanted to hear more.

Celluloid Dreams

An engrossing, true-crime documentary about a very wild case in a very particular place.

Rated: 3/4

Katherine M.

Could’ve been great but was not. The material was there but it was too dramatized and tried too hard to be “southern gothic”. Also spent entirely too much time letting Glenn try to paint himself as the good guy

It was a very slow start, but it did pick up. I loved the ending.

Very compelling! Dr. Thomas Burton is a fantastic storyteller of folklore. This is based on a true story and gets wilder and wilder as the story unfolds.

Why did I watch this ? A Jerry springer episode in a documentary format. Worthless
