The Manson Family Massacre, written and directed by Andrew Jones
8 out of 10


The crimes of the Manson family have become so infamous that we have heard about them even in our faraway lands.

They are so horrible, savage and incredible that watching a film with this subject can be hard.
It is probably the main reason why the undersigned has not liked the motion picture.

Another explanation for the lack of enthusiasm might be the acting...perhaps the direction as well.
It often seemed exaggerated, pathetic and overblown.

But then this could be the perfect take on the Massacre.
It is as over the top, incredible and grotesque as any fictional story can be.

And yet it is true in all its violence, outrageous bloodiness and mad destruction, men and women being stabbed multiple times by members of a cult who claimed to be Devils and were surely possessed.

Not by demons, this viewers an atheist, but by an apocalyptic, awful, deranged, subhuman vision and thirst for blood.
