Dancing_P [ 9.5 ]

As essential a true-crime exposé as Vincent Bugliosi's book Helter Skelter. It's impossible to make an entirely unbiased, objective documentary but of all the ones I've seen, this comes the closest. Disturbing, provocative and it makes a damn good argument without the filmmakers ever saying a word and letting the facts do the work.

chapter11 [ 9.0 ]
[ add to preferred ]
It took me quite some time to track down this movie-- its VHS-only format rules out Netflix, and most Blockbusters typically just stock "Paradise Lost 2"-- and was kind of expecting something almost Michael Moore-ish, a work of almost total and overpowering propaganda (albeit of a very forceful and interesting nature); instead, I got "Paradise Lost" which is as un-biased as can be and still manages to make a near-airtight argument for the innocence of the West Memphis Three. I was shocked, disturbed, haunted, and disgusted-- but most of all, man, it frightened me that someone innocent can be condemned to die pretty much for being weird. I'd better start taking my normalcy pills.

One of the most disturbing films I've ever seen. Really makes you think about our justice system, the witchhunt mindset, and if the real killer might be still running loose (though in plain view). The documentary-makers even manage to get embroiled in the plot of this one as a gift someone gives them turns out to potentially be the murder weapon!
