Dennis R Great documentary. Watched at least 50 times lol Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/11/24 Full Review Audience Member A very detailed movie on the Tate/Labianca murders. Well done with intimate stories of all involved. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member This documentary was clearly created by an individual who is very passionate about the topic. The story of Manson, and the passion the guy has for the topic is the only thing that makes this documentary any good. The narrator speaks way too quickly throughout the entire documentary. On top of that, he has an over-abundant amount of completely useless information. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member It's an extremely dark, twisted and interesting tale, one of the Manson family who went of a killing spree for no sane reason. The whole topic has been shrouded in different versions of events and different people being involved at different times, depending on who you talk to. This film tries to debunk all the myth about the story and set the record straight as to what happened with Manson and his followers, the result... an insightful but generic documentary ran by a presenter who is far to committed to knowing and collecting every hollywood gold that he can. It's not that hes annoying, hes just not a presenter and so we are essentially watching a fan boy of hollywood wandering about telling us about these famous locations, he even throws his own theories in there, which kind of goes against the whole point hes trying to make. Its not horrendous though, its an informative and semi enjoyable watch, however it leaves you on such an unsatisfying note that you feel an extra 10 minutes could have been spent wrapping it up better, instead were left with lazy text to do so, with some eerie music. underwhelming. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member For anyone interested in the Manson family and the Tate/LaBianca murders, this is a much watch. It's basically a video location tour of sites and stops all related to the crimes and the people involved. While at times the macabre, intimate nature nearly gives the viewer an unshakable guilt, one still can't look away. The low production values don't take away from the interest- but it's definitely for those that are into true crime- this one in particular. I don't think it be enjoyable much to those who aren't. 4 1/2 stars Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member have this on a couple of Echo Bridge DVD compilations Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
