This isn't just a recounting of a horrific event; it's a descent into the abyss of human depravity, meticulously crafted to expose the insidious nature of manipulative behavior. While the film relies heavily on archival footage and interviews, its power lies in its unsettling ability to elicit empathy, not for the perpetrator, but for the victims whose lives were so brutally extinguished.
