chilling chronicle of evil
25 June 2009
this fact based movie about Myra Hindley and Ian Brady,Britain's notorious child killers of the 1960's is sure to send chills down your spine.it doesn't sensationalize the murders.in fact,most of the murders themselves are not shown.instead,we are shown the bizarre behaviour of Hindley and Brady and their sadistic leanings.one murder is shown,but it's not explicit or graphic.but the way it is shown is horrifying.it's hard to say which of the two was the initiator of the crimes,or if both played equal parts.they both are shown as manipulators and without remorse.The acting is stellar,form Maxine Peake as Hindley and Sean Harris as Brady.but equally effective are Joanne Frogatt as Hindley's sister Maureen ans Matthew Mcnulty as Maureen's husband.the rest of the supporting players are also exceptional,too numerous to mention here,although i have to mention Joe Costigna as DCI Joe Mounsey.this is a first class production all the way.it broken my heart,and will stay with me for a long time. 10/10
