Cenas de um Homicídio: Uma Família Vizinha

A better Netflix crime story. Why? Because it's only the real footage or news stories that's used in the film. It's not filled with people being interviewed talking about the event from the past which just pads the runtime. It works better and keeps you invested with body cams and real police interviews. Nothing is staged. It's all real.

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.

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.

I can only say that I maybe the only one who was not aware of this terrible crime committed. Using Police body cam , Personal home movies. Facebook and text messages this had me gripped from start to finish. I was absolutely glued. I was left emotional and drained.

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 .
