This Is The Worst Film I Have Ever Seen

This is the worst film I have ever seen. The reason I disapprove of this film is because it automatically assumes that the characters who were accused of ritual abuse, (in that case), were guilty. It is based on the McMartin trial, although the makers of this film (CBS), do want to admit it. The only purpose of making this film was to destroy any chance of fair trial for the McMartin family.

No thrills, no chills, and definitely no Muffin Man

A phoned-in cash-in of tabloid stories at the time, this film offers few crumbs of truth and little insight, not to mention no muffin man. Rather, it portrays an endevour recklessly persued by the film's supposed protagonists; children are woken from their sleep to answer traumatizing questions by their parents, and therapists ask more disturbing questions nonchalantly with dolls as props. Overall, this is just as entertaining as it is credible, and the so-bad-it's-good trope doesn't apply here. In fact, even Pam Dawber (Mork & Mindy) looks bored. The X-Files did something similar to this a few years after which was more interesting.

something to "watch"

Being a victim myself, every parent should be aware of the signs. This might be a good example. Maybe watch this one with your child, talk with them about the movie and look for the signs.

not quality at all.

This movie was terrible. It was so very terrible.

Most annoying was the way the trial was conducted. The defense attorney is allowed to ramble on and on when questioning a witness without the prosecution making any objections. He attacks the children brought to give testimony with cruel ferociousness and repeatedly yells at them that they're lying. These just aren't things that they subject children who have been sexually abused to. The trial is silly and it ruins the whole movie...(Law & Order has spoiled me for courtroom accuracy-ness).

It was wonderful

I saw this movie in a psych class and I thought it was wonderful. It was very educational and I don't think it should be compared to the McMartin trial. In the movie the people being accused weren't punished nearly severe enough and watching it was upsetting but much better than ignoring a hard subject matter. I would recommend anyone to see it. It's important to be informed about things like that and this movie did a horrible wonderful job of doing that.
