Fred y Rose West: Una historia de terror británica

Netflix's Fred and Rose West: A British Horror Story is a chilling three-part docuseries exploring the horrifying crimes of one of Britain's most infamous serial killer couples. With real police recordings, survivor accounts, and investigative insights, it uncovers the depths of depravity behind the seemingly ordinary façade of Fred and Rose West.

It's both fascinating and deeply disturbing - a stark reminder of how sick some human beings can be. The series is exceptionally well put together, respectful to the victims, and terrifying in its realism. Scary to think that such things not only happened, but remained hidden for so long.

A must-watch for true crime fans who want more than just shock value.

I don't understand the negative reviews. I found this a compelling mini series. The police footage was intriguing. I had never seen it before. This was a human story that really took the family of the victims into account in a thoughtful way. If you just want gore details then you may be disappointed but for me, it was dark enough. A true life horror story that shone a light on the cruelty and depravity some human beings are capable of. Including many of the people involved in the case then and as they are now brought an added dimension. This documentary stayed with me after viewing. I appreciate Netflix makes by a sensitive, watchable documentary that didn't stoop to gutter level.

They had everything to make this a perfect documentary on a silver platter

They had visuals, the recordings, the law enforcement and journalists involved, first account witnesses - the victims, victims families, previous tenants, even the West's own children. Yet they still fell so flat when it came to telling the story of such a complex case.

To tell this story, you NEED to go back to the beginning and go through the events that led to them getting caught. Yet so many facts and details were completely glazed over or ignored. A solid timeline wasn't even established. A breakdown of their family structure wasn't given, just that they had kids together and a part. It's so disappointing how lazy the storytelling was. They had THREE episodes and spent majority of it yapping about the more minor details.

PSA: Morbid podcast does a 4 episode deep dive into this case that's really thorough. Puts this to absolute shame.

Harrowing documentary, however, chunks of key details and Info left out/missing. If you've never watched a documentary regarding the story before then you'll probably find it really good, whereas for myself I've watched a few docs over the years about it which were a bit more in depth and included extra details etc.

All in all a very decent documentary regarding the shocking story but lacking key details, evidence and info. Three relatively short episodes which you can binge in one night so it's definitely worth a viewing especially if you've never seen a documentary regarding it before. 7/10.

Good grief, what just happened; how did this director manage to turn this juicy story into such a slow, sluggish, soporific, limp d1ck of a docu?

Full of pauses, rife with semicolons, padded with empty moments, lingering shots, lingering statements, lingering exposition, flaccid structure, full of... stuff, circling around the same things over and over, you find yourself wandering off midway counting your unpopped corn kernels, confused, mysteriously nauseous, wondering why you are bored with so much original creepy VHS footage of such yucky scary villains.. yet, you are. I watched the whole thing yet I'm unsure what happened to whom or how each one happened.

It's a doc deader than the victims, it's like those Delia Derbyshire recordings of dreams, on and on and on, drifts you to sleep - awful. Ugh.
