AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Syl The director and writers along with the cast and crew don't forget the victims in this senseless crime spree by Ian Brady and Myra Hindley who committed them in the early 1960s. The five victims included three young children and two teenagers. Pauline Reid and Edward Evans were the teen victims while younger children, Keith Bennett, Lesley Anne Downe, and John Kilbride were also met by cruel fates. The film version is dramatic, tragic, and doesn't show the actual murders. This television movie has a haunting move and maybe more on Myra's side of the story with her sister, Maureen, and mother more involved. We don't know much about Ian Brady's background. Once Maureen and her husband began spending time with Myra and Ian. It becomes dark especially since they go to the Saddleworth Moors to spend their free time. It seems like a haunting place to be for anybody. Maureen and Dave are unaware of Ian and Myra's crimes at the time. When Dave and Maureen go to the police, it unravels the Pandora's box of secrets held by the couple. Although Myra Hindley and Ian Brady's crimes are always being written about, there is an interest especially in an attractive and intelligent woman like Myra who did everything for Ian. You have to wonder why Myra did it. The two part version is well-acted by the cast and crew. Maxine Peake is in rare form as Myra Hindley. Joanna Frogatt is perfect as her long suffering and guilt ridden sister, Maureen. Sean Harris is fine as Ian Brady. The film is a haunting look at one of the most disturbing crimes in British history.

Andy Croft This film was portrayed in a very strong and parsonage way. The cast played daunting characters with tremendous effort. This movie is chilling in the fact that it is still on the mind of many people. I only rated it a 6 as I thought maybe more could have been put across about how these two absolute animals lived their horrific murderous life's. There may have been some restraints on what could be told.I lived local as a child to these areas and today the mention of Brady and Hindley runs chills through peoples bones.Great film - Great CastA must on the TO WATCH list !

jenniferfinlay I assumed this drama would be just another glorification of the moors murders,however i was wrong. This was portrayed in a sensitive and yet compelling way.The acting from all concerned was faultless. Maxine Peake was amazing,so different from her usual acting in shameless etc.Her portrayal of Myra Hindley was chilling. Sean Harris (creep) was fantastic as Ian Brady.His accent was rather poor,but he deserves an award for his portrayal of Brady. Joanne Frogatt (formerly in Coronation Street,Bad Girls,and most recently The Street.)simply shone as Maureen Smith (Myra's tragic innocent,and somewhat naive sister) Newcomer Michael McNulty was amazing as David Smith.He really made this role his own.He was very convincing in the part. In fact all the other actors,including George Costigan (Rita,Sue,and Bob, The Hawk) were outstanding. Thankfully we were spared the gory details of the horrific murders,but the photographs of the victims were bad enough. There will be some who will argue that this should never have been made,let alone shown,but it was made with the families' backing. This poignant,sensitive,thought provoking and well made drama truly deserves a Bafta award.A gem of a drama,in a schedule full of reality shows and rubbish.

Trapper_John I was quite young [7 - 9 years of age] when these events took place, and remember the dreadful feelings that were prevalent. Before this drama was screened, I was not sure it would be possible to dramatize such an horrific episode without it coming across in a way that either glossed over or overemphasized many aspects. However, I feel this was a well pitched production. For me it has gone a small way towards dealing with something that has been uncomfortable to think about in recent times, when those involved were for one reason or another in the news. I don't think it would be appropriate for the full details to be made public in a television programme, but hopefully there was enough to be informative yet not too distressing. I hope the families concerned did not find the drama hurtful, and that it didn't reopen deep wounds for them - probably a vain hope, unfortunately.
