MANSON, MY NAME IS EVIL (2009)


Having watched just about every movie and probably every interview ever with Charles Manson(I find the guy to be an entertaining son of a bitch!) I would have to say that this is one the worst film versions of the whole Manson case.  It mostly focuses on Leslie(hence the original title of LESLIE, MY NAME IS EVIL) and a conservative young juror who becomes infatuated with her.  There's not a whole lot that's factual about this movie except for the characters names and I'm not sure if you're supposed to take anything seriously since it fluctuates wildly from being a serious drama to being a spoofy/unfunny comedy.  I get the whole point about war being bad and religious conservative hypocrisy but it's all portrayed in such a silly stylized way that it comes off as a muddled mess of a narrative.  The 2004 remake of HELTER SKELTER was worse than this but not by much since this also has that direct-to-video/TV movie feel to it.  You get to see some hippie boobs here which gives this a tiny edge.  For a way more accurate(and way bloodier!) portrayal of the killings that ended the 60's watch THE MANSON FAMILY by Jim Van Bebber instead.
