william k Unusual documentary doesn't focus on a singular case or phenomenon, but rather lists up a whole series of unusual deaths creating a gloomy and morbid atmosphere all of its own. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie does justice to the book that it was based on. It has great filmography, pacing, acting and voice over. It could have been an hour longer, or even a multi-part series, and I would have watched it all! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a cool film based on the book of the same name. It's technically a documentary about Black River Falls, Wisconsin late 1800s & the strange string of deaths that befell them. However, along with the archival pictures & newspaper stories, reenactments are added in to enhance it. The main narrator is tremendous but the narrator for the insane asylum segments made a distracting & annoying choice to whisper everything. All in all, its a good film, but not really notable & never supersedes the book. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member A biography of a town written through deaths & madness... haunting & darkly comic. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The fact that the events told on this film were taken out of a local newspaper of the time adds to the feeling of authenticity that plays around with the audience's fascination with dark and mysterious true events, some so unbelievable that could be takes for urban legends. There is an aura of mystique and supernatural about the whole thing, an aura that deepens the tension as the events unravel at a fast pace. Adding to the appeal is the stunning and stylish black and white photography with which Marsh tells the tale, which is very meticulous and effective in keeping the viewer glued to the screen. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Beautiful imagery, but I found it...slow. I guess that's how I'd describe it. Some sections really pulled me in, but the music and Holm's narration made this quite drawn out. The title of this is the most shocking thing about this. Pass.
