The original case dates back to 1991 and implies a Pentecostal preacher who was accused of having killed his second wife by forcing her to go to a cage full of poisonous bell snakes. Those who took note of the case at the time naturally had a lot of questions, ranging from the fact that the preacher’s reasons were on the way in which he provided a most unconventional murder.

Beware of the Slenderman

In 2014, two 12 -year -old girls stabbed their friend 19 times for everyone’s stranger reason: they wanted to obtain the approval of Slenderman, a fictitious internet boogeyman that was at the heart of countless creepypastas. At the time, the case became under my skin, not only because the pre-adolescents tried to kill themselves. I was also alarmed by the fact that our culture had become so bizarre that we made our own monstrous gods and even try to appease them with human sacrifices.

Because of my alarm, I did not follow the case too close, but I still had a lot of questions. Fortunately, Beware of the Slenderman Most of them replied. Looking at the documentary, I couldn’t help but make comparisons with The BabadookOne of my favorite horror films. This film is largely convincing because it asks us to determine whether monsters or mental health problems are the real problem. Unfortunately, Beware of the Slenderman Proves that this is a question that we must tackle in real life, by dealing with the mental problems of young people before becoming the very monsters that they try to impress.

Worship girls

Worship girls is based on someone’s exploits that is not exactly a familiar name: Ervil Lebaron. Of course, you may know him by his more scary nickname: “Mormon Manson”. He directed the church of the lamb of God first born, which was polygamous. This part is important because he had more than 50 children, raising them in his twisted ways, even if his cult members have carried out a series of mass murders.

The name of this documentary gives its real home – the children of this crazy cult chief. Some of his surviving daughters have advanced to give brutally frank accounts of what it was to be raised by such an infamous personality within the limits of his mortal worship. In this way, the whole is more convincing than the average documentary of the real crime because he goes beyond the head of worship himself to explore the heartbreaking and heartbreaking details of the children who survived his anger.

Devil in the Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke

You may have a lot of real crime documents to your credit, but Devil in the Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke Take advantage of a particularly sensitive subject: child abuse. Holder Ruby Franke was an incredibly prosperous mother’s vlogger who became a YouTube megastar for having chronicle the exploits of her six children. This streaming empire, however, collapsed when she was accused of having abused her children in a case that set fire to the Internet.

Hearing about the bad allegations against Franke (who was finally condemned), I continued to ask a singular question: “How did it happen?” Why would anyone do this to their children? ” The documentary presents everything, of the role of his partner / commercial mentor with Franke’s own motivations. In addition, the DOC presents his older ex-husband and children, giving a glimpse of how things went so bad with this famous family.

And the explosive documentary true-crime TMZ presents oj: how he really did it Help a new light on what is probably the most famous in history.

Among other things, this includes information from Jim Holcomb, a LAPD officer who could simply know what the neighbor of Simpson (who was not allowed to testify) had to say about allegations. Thanks to this and other details of initiates, I recommend this doc to all, in particular those who (like me) remember to look at the pursuit of Bronco at low speed in college.

Suburban Nightmare: Chris Watts

Fortunately, none of us know exactly how a murderer thinks. But that is part of what makes the documentaries of real crime so convincing: we can Puander through interviews and old photos in order to reconstruct why someone did the unthinkable. That’s why I found it Suburban Nightmare: Chris Watts so convincing. Watts was a father who seemed to have a great marriage, but he ended up mortally strangling his wife and two daughters.

Beyond the mystery of the reasons why he did, Watts is a convincing figure because (as fans of the real crime already know), most of those who kill their family also end up committing suicide. Watts did not do it, which means that he was able to make declarations on his deadly motivations. As the documentary credits run, you may not be completely satisfied with the answers. But you will be one more step towards the closure, which can only come to understand why the killers so often make the unthinkable for those they love.
