Devilsdorp

A brutal, shocking story unfolds in this well made documentary.

Excellent true crime doco, covering South African religious serial killings 2012-2016.

Cautionary tale into the dangers of insulated and extreme religious belief system (in this case Christian), and the dark path it can lead down.

This story is the craziest documentary I have seen regarding anything to come from South Africa.

Some things are truly unbelievable.

Such sadness for those who have lost loved ones.

Definitely up for local awards, if not international.

This 4 part documentary follows the trail of bodies left behind by a murder cult in a small South African town. Krugersdorp, near Johannesburg, is the eponymous town of the title "Devilsdorp" or Devil's town.

Witnesses and family members of the victims tell their stories in a narrative which does not get bogged down in the complexity of the case. There are some unanswered questions at the end , but the documentary faithfully represents the community and systems of belief at the heart of this murderous enterprise.

The most unbelievable story... if a Hollywood script writer wrote this, it probably wouldn't see.the light of day because it is just so bizarre, so incredible that nobody would produce this movie because it seems not possible and yet, it happened! Well worth watching...
