Devilsdorp

A brutal, shocking story unfolds in this well made documentary.

The world is full of stupid evil people

I still can't believe how gullible these people were

Great story telling , well written If you like true crime docs I recommend it !

Excellent true crime doco, covering South African religious serial killings 2012-2016.

Cautionary tale into the dangers of insulated and extreme religious belief system (in this case Christian), and the dark path it can lead down.

What a great Series. The subject matter was truly horrific and it seems unbelievable that people can get sucked into situations like this which happened but all too often nowadays - plenty of people are involved in hideous atrocities through drugs, money or some other situation in their lives.

Most of those people drawn into situations such as this would never normally act in the way they did but having said that, there must be something inanely weird in their life or in their mind, which enables them to be manipulated to commit horrendous acts of brutality. The telling of the Story was brilliantly done and one thing I would like to know which I hope should have been followed up was the story behind the "high ranking policeman" who was removed from the Case and not named who was more involved than was known.

This 4 part documentary follows the trail of bodies left behind by a murder cult in a small South African town. Krugersdorp, near Johannesburg, is the eponymous town of the title "Devilsdorp" or Devil's town.

Witnesses and family members of the victims tell their stories in a narrative which does not get bogged down in the complexity of the case. There are some unanswered questions at the end , but the documentary faithfully represents the community and systems of belief at the heart of this murderous enterprise.
