if like me you are purchasing this to watch on a sensical basis starting from the beginning of the groups formation upto the famous murders , then you are gonna be dissapointed
it starts out like a Acids haze interwoven with flashbacks here and there all over the place then continues like a semi biagraphic from actors playing the characters ( it would have been better if thats the direction you wanted to go in to have interviews with the real people and release this as a docudrama, and whats all the pieces about with the Semi punk gang (i get that they are influenced in some way but thats not what the titles about (Manson family ) not aftermath 20 years later sorry rubbish

The first thing you have to understand that this is not just a B-movie based on a bunch of murders and making a true story an excuse to make alot of bloody death scenes put into a film.

I think this film is put together really well and I was deliberating giving it more stars.
From accounts I have read of the brutal killings it certainly seems to be realistic, but for me, it was too realistic in that it has left me feeling sick.
