Don't F**k with Cats: Uma Caçada Online

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.

I'm pretty good when a documentary is about murder of humans, not so much of animals, the whole Progression of his acts were so terrible. I can't believe the police completely ignored facts that they had received. Very interesting to see how private people found out so much about the cat murderer. This whole series left me so unnerved that I had to turn on an audiobook and call my dog into bed for cuddles to even be able to sleep.

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.

This is a gripping documentary that I have described to my friends as a real life Saw documentary. It begins with a group of people on Facebook trying to track down someone who is posting videos on Youtube of them murdering kittens. There are multiple horrific videos and some of them are explained in detail so if you're queasy (like me) then brace yourself. You don't actually see any more than the beginning of the videos but you can hear it and it's enough that I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I will probably have nightmares tonight.

I'm stupefied that all this happened a few years ago and I don't remember hearing anything about it. (Leading me to wonder how much is getting lost in the vortex of awful that are our daily digital lives.)

It's best to watch this knowing as little as possible, and then you too can sit there agog as I did, mouth agape, as the three hour-long episodes unfolded with so many WTF moments that kept me engrossed until the very last frame. It was sad, thought-provoking, shocking, infuriating, and the most interesting thing I watched over the long holiday period. I definitely recommend this if you haven't already seen it.
