Cenas de um Homicídio: Uma Família Vizinha

Reviewers below have essentially expressed most of my thoughts and opinions about this documentary. However it would have been really useful to add a second episode interviewing experts to give us an insight as to my these heinous and difficult to understand crimes happen in the first place. What is it that flips the switches in a humans brain to to go against all sane reasoning and embark upon a course of action that is going to wreak havoc on everyone's life, most especially your own, knowing full we you are never going to get away with it .

Even though I had previously watched crime shows on this tragic story, I felt this was done from a perspective in which focused on highlighting events that I either knew little or nothing about, which made for a sad but informative watch.

It's a fairly basic true crime mystery...but my God, the personal access, shocking details and masterful editing make it one of the most well-told of the over-crowded sub-genre.

A very intoxicating detective story. But what makes it really spooky is, if you've seen fiction films like CACHE and DOSSIER 51, this uses real surveillance footage and text message and voicemail evidence as most of the film's content. It's a technological marvel -- but in a scary, Big Brother/Stasi way.

A concise documentary covering the disappearance of shannan watts and her two children, and the subsequent investigation. The timeline was well established and well presented. The first hand footage was quite extensive.
