Movie Reviews of Paradise Lost 2 - RevelationsMovie Review: Excellent follow up Summary: 5 Stars
High profile murder cases deserve follow up, and this was no exception. Though not as high profile as some have been, when a case like this brings out such emotion it is important to see what the players are doing through the years from the criminals to the victim's families.
There has been enough hype that has promoted this into popular thought. Internet groups have been sprung up to promote the innocence and hearsay that the three teenagers accused of murdering three boys in a demonic ritual were falsely accused. The teenagers are currently serving life sentences without parole. We see them in a different light than before. They are older, more mature, and hardened by prison. They are more accepting of their situation, saying that they wish they had not done or said the things they had said because they didn't understand before. Granted, but that is not enough to release them from their guilt.
We are supposed to cast doubt on their guilt by further investigation of the victim's stepfather. They are all poor white trash in Arkansas, he is no exception. He's had several brushes with the law, and his wife (the mother of one of the victims) died under mysterious circumstances in 96. He also had his teeth removed and wears dentures (which he takes out and displays many times in this documentary), casting doubt upon whether or not the bite marks on the victims could match his teeth. He is flamboyant and loves the spotlight, but the other victims' families choose to bow out, wanting to be left in peace with their grief. This is not enough evidence to convince me that he might have done it.
The fact remains that these teenage boys, now young adult men, will get the electric chair someday because they deserve it. There is too much evidence that they did it. Check the special features section in this and the first documentary to see the things that ended up on the cutting room floor. They didn't give you an accurate picture of them as teenagers, nor as young adults. There are several red herrings in evidence, the police did not do the best job they could have done (do they ever in these cases?), and too much has come forward from others to determine their guilt rather than defend their innocence.
