First Lines: Art Davidson - Minus 148 Degrees
One sunny morning in my twenty-first summer I was hiking along a road in British Columbia, wondering what mountain to climb next.
Devil's Knot (2013)
The savage murders of three young children sparks a controversial trial of three teenagers accused of killing the kids as part of a satanic ritual.
Well produced and well cast true crime story only hints undecidedly at the upsetting aspects of this case and somehow ends in mid-air.
Maltin**1/2: "Straightforward (if arguably unnecessary) dramatization...Witherspoon and Nivola are especially good as the heartbroken mother and aloof stepfather of a young victim. If you've seen the three PARADISE LOST documentaries or WEST OF MEMPHIS this will all be familiar, though it's only the first chapter of the saga. This film ends in 1994 and provides terse postscripts for all that's occurred since then."
