    What is the point?

    I've been a visitor of IMDB for 13 years, and have never found a reason to join/comment as others have said what needs to be said...But this.. two years after a disgusting massacre occurs, so does this documentary. No reason, purpose, dignity or integrity. I do not recommend this to anyone, what is the point?? As someone who studies serial/heinous cases, this shouldn't have been made. The agenda behind this is to normalize it, when this happens daily. Think about it. Sending whoever reads this light and big love.

    Not bad but went way too easy on Nichol

    Chris is a total disgusting monster, but if you really look into this case you know Nichol was in on it for sure and this movie made her out to be another victim, no way.

    She lied dozens of times and changed her story several times No alibi Phone pinged near his house at time of the murders Deleted tons of evidence off her phone Told Chris to delete stuff off his phone and pawn her wedding ring Helped plan the attempted miscarriage w/ oxy Knew about the entire Watts family before Chris even met her, and before she even started working for Chris's company.

    Lied about not knowing he was married or that she was pregnant.

    Had tons of very damning google searches from what they did recover from her phone.

    Those are just a few things, I highly encourage people to look into her. This movie disgraces the victims by making her seem like a saint.

    RIP Shanann, Bella, Celeste, and Nico.

    Disgusting

    Trash! No respect for the family or the community where this happened.

    Ineffective

    Not quite sure who this movie is for. If you've followed the case closely, you will know far more than anything they showed in this movie. It doesn't add anything and pretty much reenacts information that you could get from countless documentaries and real life footage to which no movie could ever compare or plainly recreates them. What is the point of recreating an actual footage? You literally can go and watch the real thing.

    If it was for people who didn't know anything about the case, you're thrown into the end of the case and there is no mystery and no backstory. I'm sure that the only reason I cared about the characters was because I watched and read so much about this case. You know from the first seconds that there is a dead family and the husband is the perpetrator so you won't get sucked into the story. I guess I only watched it because I was curious how did they recreated the actual murder but again, if you have strong nerves, there is police interrogation tapes in which Chris is recalling every single gruesome detail which will send chills down your spine.

    As for production and actors, I really have no opinion. They did a good job for what they were hired to do. The main lead looks and acts like the person he portrays, same can be said about the actress that plays Shan'aan.

    Overall my main complain is that the movie is completely pointless as there is so much actual footage that the movie adds absolutely nothing to the story. It doesn't explore psychology of the characters at all. Just recreates things we already know and even that they screwed up in some parts.. I'll give it 2/10 because the actors were actually good.

    Typical... victim blaming and not factual evidence.

    The entire setup is from a man's perspective. Leading us to suspect the vitamins he was taking, this poor husband who's wife doted on him, doing everything to make him look like a good father, adequate husband and all round normal guy, were responsible for his actions. This guy killed his wife and children. There are women lining up to be his new wife. Does anyone see anything wrong with this? It's like a serial killer taking out a want add for body needed. Stop feeding this narcissistic, child killer's ego and have some respect for her family and friends. I marked this as no spoilers, saying it's not worth the money...isn't technically "spoiling" anything, is it?
