Alain E An excellent docu drama available on HBO MAX. Truly, a modern version of the Salem trials, this time happening in California. There were no executions, thankfully. James Woods plays well the attorney who defended the family from the mass hysteria. Mercedes Ruehl is the prosecutor who orchestrated the whole disaster. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/26/25 Full Review Alec B Its obviously a very angry film (understandably so) but it still has the good sense to try and make sense of the villains in this hysterical moral panic even if their motivations lacked any kind of nuance. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review Bernard M An extremely well produced drama of injustice. I am not generally a fan of James Woods but his work here is excellent. Definately worth your time and concentration. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/09/25 Full Review Steve D Woods might be an ass but he is one of the best at playing this sort of thing. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Engrossing film about the McMartin witch hunt trials. Explores the abuse of power. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Amazing and extremely sad at the same time that this story happened during my time. What was done to this family was the most despicable and heartbreaking story that was built on lies by many in power whom had no concern for the real truth.
