This sounds like something you would see on The Simpsons.
Really good movie!
We NEED a ten hour Jonestown miniseries.
VHS stole the poster design
The Sniper in the movie is a gay Liberal with fingernail polish and unnatural lemon-yellow hair.
I am confident he had entrusted his son with the ongoing task of finding the real killer.
SPOILER ALERT So I read a couple of articles and the Wikipedia plot summary and...
Kurt Russel is in this to teach us that White Male Heroes are "from the olden times".
My Theory - SPOILER ALERT
Does England in March really look this flowery and summery?

Yup. Obviously a real woman.
I am betting that until recently one of them was known as John Schoenbrun.
Some '70s classics along the same lines as Blue Ruin:
Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia (1974)
Rolling Thunder (1977)
The awkward thing about Polanski is that his now middle-aged victim says it was no real biggie and he should be left alone. This 2017 article shows them holding hands and smiling at an event. https://deadline.com/2023/04/roman-polanski-rape-victim-samantha-geimer-no-problem-no-suppport-metoo-movement-1235326147/
I wondered about that as well. The whole neighborboof would have smelled like a slaughterhouse. And why leave guards, unless drugs were stored there too, which I do not think so.
Also, all the corpses seemed to be of the same vintage. Were they all killed in the same event? Carried into the house in a middle class American suburb at the same time and walled up?
I'm guessing that Alex's parents had spent many evenings crying on Joe's shoulders about all of Alex's misdeeds. Joe shrewdly exploited this by comforting and reassuring them and acting as "the perfect son". Joe had them wrapped around his little finger and was comfortable saying whatever he pleased about Alex. Joe had exploited the situation to the point that he was the dominant person of the household.
On the second point, I do not think Alex really cared about his parents or had any sentimental attachment to his home. He was only concerned with having a place to stay and upset that his belongings had been disposed of. Finally, I think Alex just viewed the situation as a lost cause and left with no concrete plans at all.
I just watched that documentary. Chilling! Those women were so similar to the mindset of a lot of people today.
The 80s miniseries only scratched the surface of this story. Dozens, if not hundreds of compelling accounts of the different participants. Read Raven and The Road to Jonestown.
AntiFa, BLM, Trans Rights gang, Queers for Palestine and all the other pink-haired weirdos are much more in line with Jim Jones' communist politics. All they need is some charismatic leader and they'd be quaffing the Kool Aid already, but there's no charismatic Leftists at all now. That Queer for Palestine at the Israeli embassy should have started a movement instead of immolating himself.
(BTW, I read all the major books, saw the series and docs, and I want to see the FULL story on the screen.)
I was so P.O.'ed when I found out the second season of "Monster" was going to be about the Menendez Brothers. I was hoping it would be Jim Jones and Jonestown.
You would think after the huge success of Dahmer they would want to make something really epic like the Jonestown story and not just the account of one messed up family of rich jerks.
