Review of Cropsey (2010) by Steve S — 10 Feb 2011
As it eventually turns into more of a detective story about one single case instead of a blanket study of the "urban legend," of Cropsey, it does not lose any of its strength throughout. The film sheds a lot of light into life in Staten Island during the time that these cases happened, and also presents most of the evidence as it is, without pointing any particular fingers at anyone or any certain solution.
The court system eventually made the decision for us, but the story behind it is no less interesting. The filmmakers made a few corny choices about certain scenes, which should've been left out, but it still makes a very interesting and disturbing story that centers around mental health and the way New York had its governmental systems set up to handle patients of this kind.
