Fifteen years in the making, VanBebber's long-awaited take on the notorious Manson 'family' is an interesting attempt to explore the mythos of good ol' Charlie and his chums through faux-documentary interviews and dramatic recreations. The inclusion of scenes of modern day Mansonites detract somewhat from the docu-verite style and the violence, which is frequent and brutal, might put some viewers off but if copious on-screen stabbings and full-frontal-free-love is your bag then you'll be in hog heaven. Acting honors must go to Marcelo Games who manages to imitate the man himself with unnerving applomb.
