Garbage documentary
This thing is full of lame dramatizations. Repetitive usage of "lost tapes," even though there are supposedly 100 HOURS of the stuff. Just show the original footage!
"Lost"?
This was in major theater chains in the 70s. I doubt they had to look too long to find this.
How can you dis this?
Actual footage doesn't lie! There's been a lot of docs concerning Manson however lots of new footage here never seen. I found it worth the watch!
Interesting Documentary
I found this interesting, as I did not know the entire story of Manson and his Family before. I'd say it was a decent overview of what happened.
Not much new
"The Lost Tapes" is an odd title for tapes that are clearly found. And the 2-hour time slot, which I would estimate resulted in maybe 80 minutes of content sans commercials, was far too much. The show also had a fairly plodding documentary style. I learned a few things as someone with a casual knowledge of this saga. Others may learn nothing new. Current interviews with a few cult members add to the re-telling. The repeated use of a few clips is annoying and indicates that content is lacking. Altogether, a fairly lackluster effort.
