1) Why did they explore the abandoned buildings at night? Blair Witch style?
2) They interviewed the store front preacher where Rand was supposedly lured to keep an eye on him..The preacher says Rand told him he killed the girl..Why didn't he testify to that in the first trial? and "slam-dunk" him...?
becuase this was a bs movie trying to replicate the horror of blair witch. atmospheric, creepy, were the adjectives used to describe this dull movie.
shareI did find the part where they were inspecting the abandoned building kind of funny only because it was at dusk/night. Who does that? Especially when there were 1.) People living in the woods like creepy hermits. 2.) People are living in the tunnels of an abandoned building with rats, sewage and Lord only knows what else. And 3.) There were supposedly satantic rituals being practiced there. You couldn't pay me enough money to go there past like 3pm. And when all those teenagers came up and they stayed to see who it was. [mad] by that time my senses and nerves would have been so shot the second I saw flashlights I would have ran away screaming like a little girl and I wouldn't have looked back to see if whoever I was with was okay.
Jesus Christ is
So, Kaybelle confirms that the movie does work for some of us: Those of us who are naturally creeped out by squatters living in remote, foreboding places with bad histories; Real cases inspiring ghost stories and vice-versa.
shareI liked the movie even though I didn't find it scary in the least. The encounter with teenagers out for a thrill in the woods was probably a staged one but it added a dash of sarcasm and actually made me laugh providing a relief from a morbid theme that murder and abuse are. It is probably not what the scene was intended for; the filmmakers put it there to make the point that there was no cropsey besides Rand, no one to meet there by the asylum since he already had been in jail.

from what i understand, kids hang out in those abandoned buildings regularly every night, so it wasn't scary to the filmmakers to go there because they had done it so many times before. i wouldn't be surprised if the kids in that scene were already in the woods when the filmmakers arrived and agreed to be in the documentary.
when i was young, my brother, friends, and i used to break into abandoned building and houses all the time. you don't even have to be scared of drug dealers, crack addicts, and homeless people because they don't want to be seen by you and they know how to avoid you.
Yeah, the preacher had a confession, and also had the "kills retarded kids for their own good" motive. The guy must have been a known liar, or possibly the real killer but an inconvenient scapegoat if he wasn't the key witness
share2) I had the same thought. I was watching like "Uhhh, I hope this guy also said that at trial while testifying."
But the film made it sound like this guy wasn't involved in the trial at all, and that the filmmakers are the first ones hearing this.
Wtf?
