Os Assassinatos de Starved Rock

Outstanding from the word go. Bravo! I like how the filmmaker starts from the beginning from the time the murders happened all the way forward to it reconciliation.

This doc fell into the speculative true crime genre. While an interesting case, the documenter had motives and most of the interviews dealt with opinions not facts.

This is a compelling story but as with many documentaries the editing and production is poorly done. A shame really since the ingredients are all there for an awesome documentary.

All they had to do is keep it sequential and make sure the information presented doesn't conflict. They weren't able to do this so it was a jumbled mess and in the end you didn't know what to believe. That completely contradicts the point of a documentary.

I will say that David Raccuglia did seem genuine and passionate about the subject and pursuit of the truth but once again the direction and production missed the mark. I wish I didn't waste my time on this one. I am now interested though but will rely on other sources if I want more information.

An unbiased depiction of a triple homicide at maybe the most visited & popular state park for any Chicagoan. I have visited this location a few times in my life & have never heard of this story but find it captivating irregardless of it being so close to home.

The Illinois justice system has the largest history of improper convictions resulting in reversal of sentences across the country most notably from the 20th century. This documentary explores the tremendous amounts of flaws in this investigation and in the criminal justice system.

The Murders at Starved Rock is the worst of the "personal history murder mystery genre". In this documentary, a lost former hair dresser attempts to investigate a 1960s murder in his hometown, that his father prosecuted the murderer for. The filmmaker combines endless hearsay and conspiracy theories to cast doubt on the case. Unfortunately, the story is not really about the murder, rather it is about a lost son trying to prove to his accomplished father that he is a man of substance. This is a story that could have been resolved in therapy. The director's hair cuts, facial hair, and eyewear are funniest and best part of this series.
