Review of Helter Skelter (2004) by Maggie R — 13 Aug 2006
It is with mixed emotions that I give this outstanding documentary such a high rating, because it doesn't exactly know where the line between glorification of a murderous madman and objective re-telling of a truly horrible tale is (and often crosses it), but the movie is so effective at telling the tale of Charles Manson and his followers that it deserves to be seen.
Plot Outline: A new take on the Manson Family murders, with a keen focus on Charles Manson himself.
Nominated for Emmy.
