There are TWO KILLERS. Therefore it should have been ''THE KILLERS' MIND''. I expected to see new material. Nothing new was added to what is already out in the media. I have read so much about this shooting over the years. This film brings nothing new to the table. I really think that the person should take an EFL course before attempting to narrate movies. This was really terrible!
Truly I gave up at about 2 minutes in. The first outright lie is the claim of using machine guns and sawed-off shotguns. While yes a singular sawed-off shot gun was use, there were not multiples. There were zero machine guns used. At about a minute and twenty seconds in, they claim Columbine was "at the time, the worst school massacre in the history of the United States." It is a well known fact the worst school massacre happened in Bath Township, Michigan in 1927. Truly not worth continuing into this "documentary" which is already a fiction.
I found this to be horribly edited! You call him her and her him? You really do not even pronounce simple words correct?
I could have made this on my Ipad way better!
It would be a good documentary without all the obvious mistakes!
Really ? They pronounce the kkk name wrong?

The Columbine Massacre: In the Killer's Mind (2007)
*** 1/2 (out of 4)
This French documentary from filmmaker Stéphanie Kaim was obviously made on a low-budget but it's extremely well-made and as the title says it tries to get into the minds of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. Through video footage shot by the killers to home movies and security footage, this documentary gives you a pretty gruesome idea of what happened that day and the events leading up to it.
Unlike most American documentaries on the subject, it should be noted that this here is pretty graphic as there are uncensored photos of the massacre shown so those wanting to avoid seeing real carnage should probably stay away from this or at least be prepared to cover your eyes. I think the documentary did a very good job at covering all sides of the story including early on talking about how Klebold and Harris were abused and picked on by most people in the school. We even get video footage of the two being hit by a few jocks.
From here we learn about their growing rage and through readings of their diaries we hear their hatred grow deeper and deeper. There's also footage from home movies that the two made where they fantasize about their killings and we also get interviews with a few people who knew them as well as people who were in the school that day when the massacre started.
The documentary lasts under a hour but there's a lot of great, sad and rather shocking information here including some issues that locals had with the police and how long it took them to respond to what was going on. There's also plenty of footage that really gives you a terrific idea of what was going on with these guys that made them snap. To say what they wrote was chilling would be an understatement. The film isn't very easy to watch and it's quite disturbing but if you're interested in the story then there's a lot of stuff here.

This seemed to be put together by high schoolers. It mocks their virginity and their social status rather than looking into their mental status. I felt like I was watching a High School drama rather than an informative documentary of an American Tragedy.
Quotes like they were really uncool and died virgins. Or something like they were uncool. Not just for seniors but for the whole school. They were the losers of the losers.
If you're watching this documentary to glean useful information or trying to understand this tragedy, this isn't the one for you.
