I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Fantastic!

Dreadfully Boring

Stupid and without context, if you enjoy watching a film with poor quality and crappy music playing over everything, then this is the film for you.Have you ever watched a film with no dialog? What about a film with no dialog, with terrible music and completely random scenes happening? One moment people are having sex, the next moment there's a black dude in a suit waving at you.Completely stupid.

Jim Van Bebber's The Manson Family is a grotesque masterpiece. A cornucopia of sex orgies, bloodiness, senseless, unjustifiable violence, and prolific drug use for good measure. It's quite contrary to what one has likely seen and heard about the Manson family murders up until this day, which comes heavily from the news, reporters, and eye witnesses to the madness. Rarely publicized and explored is the point of view of the actual "family" members, those who worshiped the elusive Charles Manson as a Christlike figure in the face of uncertainty.Before watching the film, I was sure to do two things. One is acquaint myself with Van Bebber's personality and view on cinema. The other is watch several of Van Bebber's nineties short films. I watched four films by the director and found them all to be rewarding in some way. Just from the first few minutes of one of Van Bebber's shorts, I fell in love with his grindhouse-style qualities immediately. In an interview I watched, the man himself stated that his charm may be a bit indifferent now that gory, graphic horror films have dominated the genre. "Underground has become mainstream," Van Bebber states in an interview, and mentions how "the Eli Roth phenomena" has effectively made underground films not as incredible or as unique as they once were.Nonetheless, The Manson Family is a nasty, mean-spirited shocker, and it's all the more surprising that those traits lead it to work so well. I did probably the best thing I could've done to prepare for the film that wasn't research the Manson family; it was acquaint myself with Van Bebber's guerrilla style of filmmaking with four of his shorts that were released on DVD years ago.Van Bebber's style can be summed up as relentless and renegade. Relentless in the regard that the amount of violence and graphic content never seems to be enough and the man is always trying to make a story as extreme as it can be, and renegade in the sense that, for the time, it was very different from the kind of horror films seen in America and it still is today in some ways. Even as torture porn climbs the box office when it has the opportunity to, the cheap quality of Van Bebber's audio and video recordings can only be replicated and never duplicated. The home-movie quality of his shorts is the one trademark he still has in 2013. You can bring as much fake blood as you want to the party; I dare you to shoot something on film in the style of August Underground or My Sweet Satan with as much depravity and gore.The Manson Family does what a mockumentary on America's most brutal family should, which is show the sickness and horrifying violence the group of people unleashed upon their victims. It offers no catalyst, justification, reason, or psychological analysis as to why they committed such atrocities, other than that their self-absorbed, cocky, drugged-out nature got the best of them. When there's not vicious murder occurring on screen, there's a sex orgy or a series of disjointed video showing the weirdness of the group as a whole.The culture the Manson clan supported and practiced was the hippie culture, which was smoke enough pot and drop enough acid until it all comes clear to you before you lose it - then repeat. Van Bebber shows this by infusing the film with dizzying episodes of sex, drugs, drug-fueled rage, inexplicably graphic scenes of murder, peer-pressure, and questionable brainwashing techniques. The scenes - as hard as they are to watch - are very professionally captured and boldly detailed. Van Bebber uses extreme, graphic detail in these sequences, which will be the basis of viewer's praises and complaints.The final half of the film is devoted to the Tate/LeBianca murders, which have gone on to be well-known and discussed even to this day. Van Bebber's choice to show them in horrifyingly explicit nature is probably for the best, as it surprisingly evokes sympathy for at least some characters in the film. I felt the same sort of silent, sustained awkwardness watching these scenes as I did for Faces of Death, the iconic film that features several vignettes of reportedly authentic death sequences. How does one exactly respond to scenes of this nature? Van Bebber began directing the film in 1988, but numerous budget constraints and the loss of financial backing by investors caused him to delay the project often. He screened numerous rough cut scenes and incomplete footage at several festivals (which often would surface the black market as bootleg versions) until 2004 when Dark Sky Films assisted Van Bebber financially to complete the film and release his film Deadbeat at Dawn and his numerous short films.Should The Manson Family have been made or was it better left incomplete? Some will say it is one of the foulest, most reprehensible films they've ever seen. Others will certainly regard it as a depraved masterpiece in cinema. I'd like to show this to the same group of people who call the most recent PG-13 ghost movie as the scariest film they've ever seen. This is where I cease telling you my opinion and you're left with a choice to make on whether or not to watch this film; just know I haven't described the half of it.Starring: Marcelo Games, Marc Pitman, and Leslie Orr. Directed by: Jim Van Bebber.

This unflinching flick, nearly 15 years in the making, can hardly be called entertaining by most standards. Instead, Jim Van Bebber has created a flick that reanimates the essence of the stupidity and horror that the disciples of Charley have effected upon the world. The Family's reign of terror is all the more horrifying by account of its random and senseless motivations. The story itself will alienate all but the most ardent of movie fans, those that can see through the ostensibly bad in order to extract the true grit of Van Bebber's intent, which was to tell the story through the eyes of the Family. The acting was at times amateurish, but set upon its chaotic backdrop does not detract from the import of this film. The directing and camera work are MTV on psychedelics intense. For those prudish types stay away, for the leverage of nudity and animalistic gore have tipped the scales and reveal this flick to be on the doorsteps of rated X-ville. A difficult film to recommend, for those interested in the grim fringe of cinema, this might find a receptive audience.Genruk of Evil Eye Reviews

THE MANSON FAMILY really is a work of art, and I rarely use that term. It's a savage, carefully made, justifiably violent mix of docu-crime film and '70s drive-in aesthetics. The strange thing is, I've seen low-budget films made for five or six million that look like garbage compared to THE MANSON FAMILY, and, if I'm not mistaken, all told, THE MANSON FAMILY cost less than two million. The editing is nothing short of mad genius. The effects are always convincing - and again, I've seen movies with much bigger budgets whose effects aren't half as real-looking. The acting is fine and, if T&A's your thing, the flick has gobs and gobs of nudity. Contrary to most reviews, I found it more beautiful than disturbing, although I completely agree with director VanBebber - the Manson family slaughtered virtually defenseless people like cattle and should never be viewed as some "hip" counterculture icon. I've always been a huge fan and proponent of VanBebber's work, ever since the early '90s when I purchased a VHS copy of DEADBEAT AT DAWN. It saddens me that VanBebber's script for a TOOLBOX MURDERS remake wasn't used (the ultimate Tobe Hooper remake was laughable and forgettable). I'm glad Phil Anselmo helped VanBebber get THE MANSON FAMILY finished. And, personally, I feel directors such as Tarantino should throw VanBebber a few million and just let him do whatever he wants. If I were in, for example, Tarantino's position, I'd write VanBebber a check and tell him, "Do whatever you want. Don't worry about paying it back, either." Jim VanBebber's a visionary and THE MANSON FAMILY is wholly unique and shouldn't have been so difficult to fund and finish. I'm eagerly awaiting VanBebber's next movie.
