Finally completed watching this, and it's not what I thought it would be.
Thought I'd give out a little more info to those curious.
It's not one documentary but actually 4.
It's only the first one that is about the real life profilers that have been made famous by recent years tv-series. It's quite facinating and informative and very well crafted. When it's finished you feel like a kid who suddenly knows what he wants to be when he grows up. What's strange though is that I've seen this before aired on tv, but then it was longer, and I remember specific scenes which were not in here. These weren't gory scenes or anything, but still it seams like this has in fact been cut down to shorten it or something, I guess.
The next one is all about Jefrey Dahmer. Very in depth and brings forth several 'reasons' to the tragic outcome of his insanity. Facts presented show just how bad the 2002 'Dahmer' movie is, as too much of that is purley adapted truth. Alot of good footage is included in this one however. Several scenes from his trial are quite upsetting, to be honest. The closing comments force upon you an extreme feeling of empathy towards the victim's family. This is the kind of documentar I like to see.
Next comes Gacy. I don't know if the order these are put are actually like this on the dvd, but I think it's kinda reversed as Gacy does not succeed in shocking so much after having vitnessed the monstrous Dahmer. Gacy was indeed no Pope himself though. His complete deniance of any feeling of guilt or even recognition of wrongdoing is upsetting to say the least. But still, this one had a little to much story telling and too many names to keep track of in such a short time (45 mins).
Finally comes the story of Charles Manson's Family. An intriguing piece with fabolous interviews with two former family members in addition to the man himself offcource. Although it's also very interesting, I'm sorry to say it is far from perfect. It relies to much on the interviews and has way to high tempo in telling the story. 45 mins is nowhere near enough to really get into the whole ordeal. There's simply too much info. I really missed more background on what it was like to be part of the family and maybe some re-enactments? I guess I'll still have to wait for
