Evil Lives Here

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

The stories are told by the real victims, not actors, who visibly shake and cry while they tell their story, so you feel their fear and pain. It is very intense and emotional. The stories are true and scarier than any horror movie I have seen.

A few episodes into season 1 made me rethink the wisdom of not locking my doors and windows at my rural home. And I have a pit bull mix who weighs in at 68 lbs of muscle. This series will snap anyone out of a false sense of security. The recurring theme thru-out is family & friends who didn't see the impending doom headed their way. Some did, but were paralysed by fear. Either way you'll understand the answer to the question "Why didn't anyone do anything?" In quite a few episodes family spent years trying to get psychological help for their family member. Others repeatedly turn to law enforcement for help. Then there's the people who rationalized the evilness so that they didn't have to deal with it. Those are infuriating. This series is compelling, the 1st person interviews heart-breaking, the actor reenactments well done, the occasional update at the end is fascinating. I recommend binge-watching this... during the day and with locked doors.

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?

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.
