Don't F**k with Cats: Hunting an Internet Killer

It's really good, I binged the whole thing. But I wouldn't recommend it to anyone sensitive. Netflix issue a warning and they don't actually show any torture or killing, but watching the footage over and over, knowing what's going to happen to them is quite enough. Even seeing it once was too much for me, I'm not good right now.

I don't usually write reviews, this might be my only one. But I felt inclined to do so after seeing a lot of people critical about the ending. I don't actually think it's about the filmmakers judging you, for me it's about self reflection - is your behaviour online contributing to something bad? It is something to think about and I don't think a bit of self reflection is a bad thing.

Anyway...That's how I think about it. I'm going to go hug my cats now, because I need to.

Quite an interesting documentary following an internet group attempting to track down a cat killer who then turns to murder. The documentary was thorough and included interviews from relevant people of the internet group and the Canadian police. The information was detailed and the storyline flowed well as the investigations unraveled.

I can't believe this really happend.. sounds like a hollywood horror movie plot but i guess it's real.

Great built up and well edited.

You never see the full murder videos.. for people who are scared to see graphic stuff

Also, that end sentence from netflix was like if the ceo of exxon would blame me personally for climate change.

I have very mixed feelings about this documentary. On the one hand, it is incredibly gripping, unspeakably horrifying and uniquely fascinating. On the other hand, I don't feel like this vile piece of s**t deserves any airtime whatsoever. It always disgusts me to see media outlets lavish attention on subhuman scum like the creature (I refuse to name him) featured in this story. It is exactly what these monsters want and it encourages other deviants to tread similar paths.

I was also somewhat disturbed by the two main interviewees, who both seemed worryingly excitable about the whole situation. Surely you would want to be blurred out and remain anonymous when involving yourself in something as awful as this? It seems extreme narcissism and attention-seeking isn't limited to serial killers.

Despite my distaste at these aspects of the documentary, I cannot deny being absolutely captivated by this story and the way it was told. The events are so extreme and surreal that it is difficult to believe any of it actually happened. If this was a work of fiction, I'd be commenting that it was far-fetched and unrealistic.

Yet, even though this was one of the most enthralling things I have watched in recent years, I would not recommend it to anybody. Partly because it is so traumatic (I had to literally close my eyes and cover my ears numerous times, something I've never had to do before) and could genuinely traumatise many viewers. But mainly because it gives the protagonist exactly what he wants: notoriety. A very troubling documentary that raises many difficult questions about the internet, social media and vigilante justice.
