Helltown

If you're going to create a supposed documentary, why not go all the way and present it in a manner that at least looks believable? One of the several issues I have with this movie is the look and feel of the talking-head and in the field discussion and narration portions of the program. The dialogue and on screen performances delivered by these individuals is so obviously scripted that it just doesn't feel real. Plus, the format used to present the story should use a singular approach. We have the red headed, bearded dude acting as an on screen narrator, the military man delivering the story and the guy who is investigating for his online blog. This story would have been much more effectively resented in a format similar to that used on the television show "A Haunting". A single off-screen narrator leading the viewer through the on-screen experience. But, most likely, these guys are the people behind the creation of this stinker and they wanted screen time.

In a word, Pooptown.

Soooo fake. Insults one's intelligence. How did this even make it to TV? You can do better, Travel Channel!

This flick was okay, for what it was. But a fictional re-enactment that tries to obfuscate the truth of what it is just kind of insults everyone involved.

My wife actually thought this was real, when it was blatant that it was fiction.

We fought over this issue.

Its slightly watchable for comedic purposes. The "facts" are 99% made up. Living close to the area, knowing the truth and seeing this touted as truth is very frustrating.

I know this is a mockumentary, and I usually truly enjoy this sub genre but....WHO THE HELL IS MOWING A CEMETERY IN A GHOST TOWN??? Sorry, that kind of oversight is laughably inept. Other than that, it's decent.
