      If you choose one of the two, please watch "West of Memphis"

      75 points. I watched the documentary "West of Memphis" in 2014 about this real case. Although the types of films are different and it is not scientific in comparison, in general, the documentary is still worth recommending, because this "Devil's Knot" 》The processing angle is not the central focus of the case. Too many shots were given to the mother who showed the pain of losing a child, and the investigator was not nervous enough in investigating the case. For such an extremely controversial...

      Aaron Hutcheson,the boy who told such extraordinary stories to the police,now says he has no idea what really happened.

      The first thing that comes to mind is the disappearance of a frog boy in Daegu, South Korea, which has not yet been solved. However, although this movie has Uncle Ke, it does not improve the watchability. The American police are so irresponsible, do they just kill people with swords to combat cults? Where is the overseer? Perhaps there is only one purpose to hide the truth, that is, to have ulterior motives. More than 20 years later, where can we go to catch the real culprit? The poor children...

      6/10. Although there are Oscar winners and queens and a lot of familiar faces from American dramas, the film still misses the...

      The little boy is really cute, but he's actually quite plain, but because it's a real event, he can't help but take a serious look. The method of tying the corpse looks very professional, but I can't get excited about the cult or something. Those teenagers don't feel like a murderer. Isn't the murderer usually the most harmless one? Psychopaths tend to hide their real side in real life, well, I think too...

    Evaluation action

    Due to various bizarre circumstances, the film is still worth mentioning, but despite the presence of famous attractions such as Colin Firth, Reese Witherspoon, and Amy Ryan, Atom Egoyan’s obsessive research does not really provide any new information for this case. Clues. The book re-examines the case with nuanced details, and the fascinating picture of the misunderstood outsider resurfaces. The film is not so much a traditional...
