Myra Hindley and Ian Brady in The Moors Murders (1999)
In the mid 1960s, the crimes of Moors Murderers Ian Brady and Myra Hindley became a byword for pure, unspeakable evil. The abduction, torture, murder and burial on the moors of the children and young teenagers who were their victims stunned and horrified the British public. This film uses archival footage, dramatic reconstruction and interviews with the police officers and families of the victims to tell a story of utter horror.

    Harrowing

    This documentary gives more information surrounding one of Britain's most disturbing series of murders. The documentary outlines the case, the stories of each of the poor children that fell victim to the evil that preyed on them, and follows the families of the victims following this in search of their bodies. It really is a heartbreaking documentary that stays with you for some time. The film deals with the horrible situation in a fairly sympathetic way, and gives the families an opportunity to speak out about what happened. There won't be a dry eye in the house.

    Harrowing

    Oh, my goodness, what a harrowing experience watching this film is. It's meticulously put together, with some incredibly intimate interviews and it brings home to you in sharp relief just how barbaric these murders and murderers were. Definitely a very difficult watch, but really impressive. Highly recommended, if you can bear the very emotive subject matter.

    Its not bad.

    Pretty decent documentary if you like true crime ones, however one of the mothers in it talks so strange - you can't really understand half of what shes saying. Its so weird it kind of takes my attention away from the story. Good information tho, worth a watch if you don't know anything about it.
