Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for anyone who likes to solve it before the characters do and fans of prison dramas. It plays fair with the clues, so you can play along. Fans of 13th or Girl in the Picture should feel right at home. The walls close in, and so does the tension.
- The mood
- Gritty, eye-opening.
- The pace
- Moves through the story clearly, at 59 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.
In the mid 80s during the Satanic Panic era Pastor Flether A. Brothers who was director of Freedom Village USA interviewed Satanic teen killer Sean Sellers for an exclusive video only offered through Brothers Ministry. Brothers interviews Sellers and discusses what "Satan doesn't want you to know". This video was one of the highlights of the Satanic Panic epidemic first started by Geraldo Rivera in the mid 1980s. The clamshell case bodly [sic] professes "This tape may save your childs [sic] life and even your own!" […] This tape is hard to find and the interview with Sellers has rarely ever been seen outside of the owners of this release. The clamshell and video we have is in perfect condition and has pretty much only been played once in 25 years. (serialkillersink.net)
