Evil Lives Here

The first time I sat and watched this documentary I was completely addicted my favorite part of the show is where the family and friends tell the story holiday remember it some stories are better than other but the majority of them are awesome very heartfelt the stories that the victims tell are devastating I cannot imagine going through something like that and surviving I give a lot of respect to the victims of these monsters who are brave enough to share the stories of their nightmare it's us the viewers this show could definitely save someone's life if someone someone watching a episode they could be in same type or a similar situation that these victims were as they're watching the episode they could get the courage and the strength you need to do the right thing and the safe thing for them and their families to be saved and save someone else's life bi reporting what they know and getting out just in time before a tragedy happens and sad to say it's a very entertaining documentary but it is more of a changing someone's life or saving someone's life type of documentary I loved it theme song it's very catchy and addicting I want to thank all the victims family members and Friends who share their stories with us. Does anyone know if the homes that the victims are being interviewed at are those real homes or just a studio that looks like a home I've had that question nagging me for years I want to know if that's where do victims live now? Some of the homes are just so nice and beautifully decorated they just don't match the people that are supposed to live there that's why I'm not sure if those are the homes they live in it or like I said just a studio to make it look like a home at the time of the interview some of the people are on the show are a little rough on the edges and it doesn't look like the decorating in the house would be their taste do you know what I'm saying?

This should almost be reclassified as a horror which makes it being a documentary even more harrowing.

Similar to a documentary, this starts off from a low level and slowly builds. There is a victim or witness who is usually a family member or close associate who lays all the back ground for what they are about to reveal. Like a good horror the build up is slow and deliberate. They take you into their world and show you how the situation slowly and almost casually started. There is a lot of reflection and this can only be done in hindsight with full knowledge of what was coming. I can imagine the subtle clues and signs were just that and certainly nothing to run to police or run away from. A lot of families have these types of characters and usually they grow out of it and go on to be normal family people. These stories are about the ones that did not.

I think the worst stories are where the person being interviewed had no knowledge of what was to come, weren't fully involved and when it did come felt guilty for not being a better parent, son, sister or what have you. The grief is real and the remorse, although unwarranted, is overwhelming.

Although there is an amount of recreation, I don't find it overly dramatic, more to put the viewer into the witnesses or victims situation. To see what they saw and went through. The people being interviewed genuinely seem to have been through hell, and are now almost devoid of emotion when they talk about it. It's a very eye opening look into how evil people can be and what effect that has on the innocent.

The reviewers who have attacked the people being interviewed for not seeing the signs and acting or just not getting out, accusing them of being weak and generally being laptop cowboys are the ones in need of help. The very lack of compassion and failure to understand that real life is not like the movies is concerning. That most of these stories involve innocent children shows me they haven't watched many of the episodes. Time to push the keyboard away and go out and see how the real world works.

The presentation and ability to tell a real story and sell the heart wrenching devastation that follows, earns an 8 from me.

I love watching true crime documentaries and this one is up there as one of the best !!!, it grips you from the start and is really well made

I can't stop watching, but it's so frustrating to see the absolute blindness of these people who "didn't see this coming" when they should have been bowled over with red flags YEARS before the other person stated killing people. It's really hard to watch and not yell at the tv. An endless parade of oblivious enablers and naive doormats. It's really hard to feel for them when they just made (and MAKE) excuse after excuse for the killers' early behaviors that would have been obvious to any normal person that the criminal was trouble and would eventually kill someone. Production - wise, it's also very monotonous to listen to just one person talk for a whole hour. They really need some sort of narration or something to break up that monotony.

Love this. Really well presented but a lot of the time, you really can't side with the victim due to their ridiculous lack of awareness. Awful what has happened to these folk but some of the episodes the parents/relatives may as well have shone a torch on the maniacs.

I really cannot understand why some of these people continue with their relationships. For example; why would a lady with 4 girls stay with their new man when she finds out he has been convicted of molesting a 6month old.

In the end I think that she has basically cost herself and her kids a real decent life clear of the awfulness.
