The Manson Family Massacre

The story seemed so far fetched. The actor playing Manson had the charisma down but lacked the believable villian qualities. It felt more like a rush to be released to the viewing public.

I didn't really follow the main plot points very well. I fell asleep watching and didn't really care to watch it again the next day. Nothing really happens in the film. It jumps about from past to present and back again. It doesn't really tell the story of anything.

A series of bloody fictional murders & nothing about the real crimes until a series of informational screens before the credits. A lot of mystical nonsense, I guess about a woman who bought one of the murder houses decades later wondering if it is haunted in some way. Confusing when it keeps jumping time. When a movie title appears to be about historical events you expect at least some degree of accuracy even though in Hollywood it usually seems verboten to portray things just the way they happened. I watched two movies about the BTK killer. Having lived in Wichita through all this, I was very familiar with the facts. One was unusually accurate with the lead looking & sounding so much like Rader it was creepy. The other was like this. Just used the BTK name & a series of completely made up gory crimes. I don't know why I didn't just turn off this film. Maybe it was just such a train wreck I couldn't look away. I don't review mediocre series & movies. Only the great ones & the real stinkers. Probably seen worse movies; just can't think of one right now!

This film could've been an easy 5 or 6 stars but the plot was all jumbled and I don't think the separate three time lines worked in the end. If it had just stayed with the manson part of the story it would have been better off. In the end im only giving this three stars because I liked the actor that played manson. Also lee bane is in this and he was alright to.

Story was total rubbish as well as the acting...nothing else to say!!!
