Murdaugh Murders is a passable Lifetime movie that’s a part of its Ripped From The Headlines series: perhaps if the headlines hadn’t already told us SO much about the Murdaughs, it might be more intriguing. Go to Full Review

H.C. M @H.C.Mathews 6d Half attempt to make a decent film. It lacks authenticity, to say the least, & is obviously not filmed in the Lowcountry of SC. This isn’t something easily overlooked, just as the accents aren’t true to the area; the outdoor scenes are not either. The house doesn’t look anything like theirs, it wouldn’t have taken much research to put forth an actual attempt. For Christ sake, the Lowcountry is flatland hence "low"… when the kids first get in a boat, there are foothills and mountains in the background, lol, & NY registration stickers on the boat… if you want a much better production, with better actors, better portrayals, more in depth characters & dialogue, along with everything else, architecture, true locations, etc… please watch "The Murdaugh’s: Death In The Family" instead. It is not even a close comparisom. This film falls completely short of the Hulu miniseries in every aspect. See more Allison B @ABarlowWatches Dec 29 I feel that looking back at the actual crime scene photos and listening to podcasts. Also looking at trial paperwork and hearing notes. This movie is not the best representation if you want to see and know what actually happened. It looks like they didn’t even do their research. It is known that Paul Murdaugh was shot once in the chest in the shed and then again in the head on the opposite side of what was seen in this rendition. Also there was a video of the dog having the chicken in its mouth and was recorded by Paul. Meanwhile Maggie Murdaugh was off looking at flowers not chasing the dog. She was shot once in the chest and again in the head. After she hit the ground she was shot not once but two more times in the back of the head. Not a good representation at all. It is better to watch the Murdaugh Murders: A death in the family that just released on Hulu this October-November 2025. See more Emeli B @JaneEyre Dec 24 Horrible southern accents. It seems some of the actors did not bother to do any research before accepting the role. Very rarely, if not at all, will you find a southerner speak in ‘1950’s debutant-speech style’. It was ludicrous and made the film incredibly difficult to watch. I couldn’t muster the mental fortitude to finish the film. Otherwise seemed okay.

He wasn't convincing...rather distracting. See more Bryant C 11/29/2024 A great retelling of the incident and the murders that happened in my tri county area , I'm from Charleston SC, and we've all heard of these murders and this family .
