Description: Paradise Lost: The Murders at Robin Hood Hills (VHS, 1997) - RARE Unopened VHS - Out of Print Brand new and sealed. Product InformationIn 1993, three eight-year-old boys were found brutally murdered in the woods of West Memphis, Arkansas. Though the evidence suggested the masterwork and skill of a seasoned killer, the police hastily assigned the blame to three alienated boys with a predilection for heavy metal music and black clothing. The directors' omnipresent yet unobtrusive camera draws the viewer into an intensely gripping trial and investigation, during which an atmosphere of small town "Satanic panic" and a case filled with holes reveals itself. All sides of the story are carefully explored--the emotions and opinions of victims' families, lawyers, and the boys themselves--as the trial slowly builds to its shocking outcome. The masterful editing of Berlinger and Sinofsky transforms the often dry courtroom documentary into smooth and compelling storytelling, and the most articulate of the condemned boys, Damien Echols, emerges as the fascinating centerpiece. Effective use is made of heavy metal band Metallica's early music, which gives an audio soundtrack to the alienation and hopelessness of the accused boys. Powerful and often heartwrenching, this award-winning documentary is, in the fact of its reality, more frightening, tragic, and unforgettable than many works of fiction.Product IdentifiersUPC0032621024332eBay Product ID (ePID)3257464Product Key FeaturesDirectorJoe Berlinger, Bruce SinofskySignal StandardNTSCRatingNRMovie/TV TitleParadise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood HillsSub-GenreCrime/InvestigationGenreEducation/General Interest, EducationalAdditional Product FeaturesFilm CountryUSAFormatVhsRelease Date19970527
