Watch Manson For Free

Waste of time

From my favorite movies..

disgusting, overrated, pointless

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Manson (1973) *** 1/2 (out of 4)The television movie HELTER SKELTER is what most people remember when they think of the serial killer, his family and any sort of entertainment. This documentary was released three years before that film and features Vincent Bugliosi as he discusses the crimes, the cult members and various other subjects.For the time this here is certainly a very entertaining documentary and it really makes you see how things were just a few years after the original murders. We learn about Manson, his rise to power, why the murders were committed and of course we get to meet and see the family. The family is what really makes this documentary stand apart as we get interviews with several family members as they discuss the power of Manson.The interviews with the family members were certainly the most fascinating thing because you can't help but wish that the police had just dropped a bunch of bombs on these freaks when they went to arrest Manson for the car theft. As were told, the group was arrested for lesser charges because they were eventually charged with the murders that were committed.It was rather creepy watching these family members as they talk about their plans including killing Frank Sinatra. Watching this documentary you really get a great idea of how crazy these people were and it just makes you wonder why more terror wasn't committed.

I saw this movie back in the mid 80's & just seen it again,the movie takes you back to the look & feel of the 70's & how Charlie's people lived.Charlie's kids were not the only people on the face of the earth killing people,there was the murder of the President,Martin Luther King, Jim Jones & his 900 follower's excreta excreta,it kind of makes you think that what Charlie said made sense"I am a product of your environment" "my father is your prisons",he only gave back what was put into him.Although Charlie is not in the movie his followers have internalized everything he has taught them & they have become a mirror image of Charlie,acting as he would act,speaking the word's that he has spoken,his actions & behavior's have become there action's & behavior's.Over all my opinion of the movie was pretty good giving everyone some insight on how The Family lived,laughed, had sex,did drugs & killed together.

While "Manson" does not contain any really new information about the infamous Manson murders, it does contain lots of new information about who the family is, their "Helter Skelter" plan, and what they are doing today (circa 1972)."Manson" is a bit hard to find on video, but when I found it, I bought it and loved it! I had read "Helter Skelter" about 8 times and knew just about everything about the Manson case. I finally was able to see the twisted Family members being interviewed, shown skinny-dipping and sewing, dancing around, and having sex! Squeaky Fromme, Sandy Good, Nancy Pittman, Capistrano, Mary Brunner, Clem, Bruce Davis, Charles Manson, and plenty of witnesses are interviewed, giving grotesquely fascinating details about life in the Family. This is just too good to miss, any true crime buff or anyone who wants to be scared by something that REALLY happened, see this. It will give you the shivers. Features Manson and his Family singing "Never Say Never to Always" and two former Family members doing the rest of the fantastic music.

This was a documentary and not a movie, but it was a damn good documentary. It really makes you think about Western Civilization and the problems of America. It was just sick, but also it was true.
