Goodnight, Sugar Babe: The Killing of Vera Jo Reigle

In a way, part of me wants to give this documentary a 9, based on the pure disgust I so deeply felt. I love documentaries and horror and I like to watch the most disturbing movies you can find sometimes. I've pretty much seen them all. This one for me is the most disturbing documentary I have ever seen. The family doesn't seem real. You wonder how such people could exist and call themselves human. Incredible monstrosity. I don't want to over exaggerate - it's hard to find the right words to properly describe and review this documentary. So I guess I give it a 7. I respect any Director that presents a film so evocative that you feel it physically. That said, this is not a movie fit for a rewatch. And not a movie fit for many people probably. It's not a happy story; or one left with much hope.

These people are just absolute garbage human beings. I don't think a single person in that family has any redeeming qualities. I am not normally a judgmental person, but oh my god...this entire bloodline needs to be put out of it's misery. The Brooks family make regular white trash look like the Kennedy's. I feel so sad for the poor girl who got caught up in this mess and lost her life, although seeing her background, it's unlikely she had a chance in life anyway. The problem with this show is that Vera seems to play a minor role in the story of her own murder. A lot more focus is put on these "hills have eyes" rejects that barely pass for humans. It so heartbreaking that children are even allowed around a single member of this psychotic, despicable family. If ever there was a case for forced sterilization, this is it! These people continuing to breed is more terrifying than any potential terrorist attack.

I gave this movie a six because I love crime documentaries. However while this is that, it seems less about the very tragic life of Vera, and more about how this jaba the hut of a womans evil puppeteering caused an entire family to become complete animals and brutalize another human being for fun before ultimately murdering her for the sole purpose that they no longer had fun doing it. The police and everyone else in this pathetic town should be held accountable. Every single person let this woman down but that disgusting family should be in prison for the rest of their days. One family member couldn't help but smirk and smile each and EVERY SINGLE TIME he saId ANYTHING about what happened to this womab. They are all guilty and not a single one of them deserve to see the light of day ever again except at yard time in prison. This sugarbear is as vindictive as the crazy woman from Evil Genius. It goes to show you true evil is walking (waddling?) among us and weather you believe in a God or not, it's plain to see real evil exsits. This family is proof. I understand they wanted to do a documentary about this hienous crime but i think the focus was on the wrong subjects. Vera was only the backdrop even in a movie about the crime that was her murder. Its a shame, for her and her poor daughter, the moment she ever laid eyes upon the Brooks family. May she rest in peace.

I can't believe the amount of reviews that are going on about teeth!!

Considering the subject matter!!!

It's obvious most are mentally challenged.

As documentries go this was very poorly made and all over the place at times.

But eventually you get the story.

How these people either stood by or contributated to the death of Vera is sickening.

Ok after I read others reviews, I didn't feel so bad about stating the truth. Does anyone in that town have teeth or do exercise?? They need to look into that. And also such a frustrating documentary because it's about this messed up family, who should all be in prison, instead of vera who was brutally murdered.
