The Manson Family (2004)
As odd as this sounds, this film is kind of the flipside to The Passion of the Christ -- both films are what they are. They have a built-in audience and play almost exclusively to that audience. If you believe in Jesus or Manson, the movie is for you. Otherwise, you might want to join a sewing circle or something. This mock-doc is pretty much for Mansonophiles only, as it offers no insight or revelation into the workings of the Family that you can't get anywhere else. It does, however, have lots and lots of sex, plus the obvious climactic killing spree. If that's enough for you, have at it. Also, someone should tell Jim Van Bebber that his framing device is retarded and should be sent back to the black-metal video from whence it came.
Grade: C
