This one really slipped under the radar. I didn't have high hopes for it going in, but I actually thought it was a pretty good watch in the end. It takes a different approach looking at "The Manson Family" from the perspective of the girls on the ranch and how they were all slowly but surely brainwashed by Charlie's drivel.
I liked the fact that this film gave a more "behind the scenes" look at what everyday life was like on the ranch, and the way it all slowly came full circle leading up to the horrific atrocities that were committed those fateful nights in 1969.
Obviously it isn't all factually accurate, but it's still a very gripping adaption of the book that it's based on. It's well-shot and directed, the actors give great performances, and the script paints an interesting picture of the Manson indoctrination process. Definitely worth the watch for me.
