At this time, only the first episode is available, so I'm commenting on that. This is one of the worst "docos" I've ever watched! It's clearly trying to capitalise on the notoriety of the case but is stretching things needlessly over three episodes. There was probably about 5min of interesting material and the rest was mostly accounts of journalist's own experiences of covering the story - I kid you not, what it was like to wait outside Erin Pattern's home, the time of day they heard she had been charged, the frenzy of reporters trying to photograph Erin through the windscreen of the car. That's the bulk of the episode. I won't bother watching the next two episodes when they're released - I'd rather watch someone's 10 minutes of condensed information on YouTube. This episode at least, is just wasting your time.
Unfortunately this film was difficult to market - it's not a horror, perhaps more of a period, psychological thriller.
The cinematography was beautiful and the acting masterful. There is a constant sense of dread and anxiety and paranoia throughout that kept me on the edge of my seat.
It's a haunting gothic tale set in a fascinating time period in American history. The vulnerability of the women alone in this barren landscape was frightening and the characters felt very real - their hopes pinned on the return of the father.
It's not really a Netflix film, perhaps more of an A23, arthouse piece? It deserved a more receptive audience.
