Review of Paradise Lost 2: Revelations (2000) by Alex R — 12 Aug 2012

Sequel to the first Paradise Lost film is yet another powerful eye opening documentary that sheds even more light on the West Memphis 3 case who were accused of murder. The film takes a look five years after the events of the first film, and how things are progressing for the three men accused of the heinous crimes.

This film brings to light even more doubt on the guilt of the WM3. This is a brilliantly constructed documentary and a phenomenal follow-up to the first film. Paradise Lost 2 makes you ask more questions upon seeing it.

The film manages to show even more proof of the boy's innocence in the crimes they were convicted in, and how the judiciary system is flawed. I really liked the film, and thought it was a poignant, disturbing film that now shows the WM3 were innocent, and how people have come to rally and support them in the plight for clearing their names.

Directors Sinofsky and Berlinger direct a strong film, and this sequel along with the first is among the best documentaries ever filmed. If you are interested in crime documentaries, and have seen the first film, then watch this one.

This sequel raises new questions and brings to light a possible new suspect. I thought it was pretty interesting and quite frankly likely that there was a suspect that was directly implicated in the tragedy.

As a whole this is a well made film that exposes some great holes in the judiciary system. For people who enjoy documentaries, this film is a must. This film expands what the first film did and gives us even more detail on the case and presents us with even more facts for the viewer to make up his own mind.
