The true crime short stories within this three-book collection are unimaginably gruesome. I start all of my True Crime books with a quick word of warning. Most news articles and television true crime shows skim over the vile details of truly horrible crimes. In my books, I don’t gloss over the facts, regardless of how disgusting they may be. I try to give my readers a clear and accurate description of just how demented the killers really were. I do my best not to leave anything out. The stories included in these books are not for the squeamish. What you are about to read are Volumes 4, 5, and 6 of the True Crimes Case Histories Series. The stories in this collection will make you realize just how fragile the human mind can be. A sampling of the 36 stories includes: The Darlington Cannibal: The story of a young English man that had plans to become the UK’s most notorious serial killer but couldn’t keep his mouth shut after his first kill and bragged to over twenty of his friends. The Carnival Cult: A group of four young men who believed they could do anything they wanted because their lord Satan protected them. Satan apparently couldn’t protect them from prison. Dead in the Water: A father of eight children lured women to his boat, raped them, and threw them overboard. Ingenious forensic science was eventually used to catch the killer. The Crossbow Killer: A young, intelligent man that would rather kill his entire family with a crossbow than tell his girlfriend that he had been lying to her. The Broomstick Killer: The Texas Penal System failed to protect the people of Texas by releasing a brutal killer of three teenagers. As a result, he killed as many as eleven more women. Body in the Bag: A young man obsessed with the macabre followed voices in his head when his teenage girlfriend dumped him. Authorities found her eight weeks later stuffed inside a duffel bag. The Copper Gulch Killer: A sixteen-year-old prodigy child is found with five gunshots from three different guns, but police are convinced there was only one killer. Ten years later, crime scene evidence is found in an abandoned storage locker. The Incest Killer: Katie Fusco learned she was adopted when she was eighteen. Within a year, she was married to her biological father and pregnant with his child. When authorities force them apart, everybody dies. Plus, 21 more truly disturbing true crime stories.

Gretel & Hänsel

Regie: Oz Perkins          Gesehen am: 22.07.2020     Wertung: 07/10

„Beschränkte Geister glauben nur an das, was sie sehen.“

Regisseur Oz Perkins und Drehbuchautor Rob Hayes schnappen sich das bekannteste Märchen der Welt, befreien es von der Kruste aus tausenden von Liedern und Kinderfilmen und legen den Nerv frei, der sich in jedem Märchen findet, - den blanken Horror. Ihre Herangehensweise ist dabei virtuos, an der Umsetzung hapert es jedoch leider.

Was jedem Kinobesucher sofort mitreißen sollte, ist die unfassbar gelungene Ästhetik des Grauens, die „Gretel & Hänsel“ vom ersten Frame an in ihre Augen gießt. Hier wurde sich wahrlich ausgetobt und die Kulissen und die extrem allegorische Bildsprache sind eine Wucht. In Verbindung mit der parabolischen Erzählweise, die sich subtil immer weiter ausbreitet, muss man schnell an Meisterwerke wie Robert Eggers „The Witch“ oder Darren Aronofskys „Mother“ denken. Der berüchtigten Hexe wird hier sehr gekonnt ein feministischer Subtext ins Drehbuch geschrieben, der sich zu einem hochinteressanten Diskurs im Dialog mit Gretel als Hauptfigur entwickelt. Leider wird die gesamte sehr intensive Dynamik in der Verbindung aus Bildsprache und Subtext jedoch mit einem äußerst konventionellen Ende gebrochen, dass eigentlich nur enttäuschen kann. Denn das, was den bisherigen Film ausgemacht hat, wird hier in derart schockierender Weise verwässert, dass es fast weh tut, wie viel Potential hier verschenkt wurde. Hätte man den Mut gehabt, den eingeschlagenen Weg in den letzten 15 Minuten konsequent weiter zu verfolgen, hätte hier ein echtes Meisterwerk entstehen können. Diejenigen jedoch, denen das Ende gefällt, werden hier mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit dafür belohnt, dass sie sich durch die erste Stunde gequält haben, mit der sie dann wohl weniger anfangen konnten. Insofern hält „Gretel & Hänsel“ für jeden die passende Enttäuschung bereit. Dennoch handelt es sich um einen sehenswerten Film, dessen Herangehensweise und vor allem Ästhetik, einen Kinobesuch durchaus lohnend machen.
