Charles Manson Superstar (2002)

Here’s a truly weird one for ya. (And remember that I didn’t say good, I just said weird.) This documentary, if you call it that, is way too long, far too slow, and is mostly a rehash of an old jailhouse interview.
But it’s notable for two things. Firstly it’s made by Nikloas and Zeena Schreck. Zenna’s maiden name? LaVey. Which makes her father, that’s right, Anton LeVay.
Secondly it’s, if you can believe this, pro-Manson. Nikloas Schreck in particular really tries to make Manson’s “philosophies” work, but all you have to do is watch him speak for about 90 seconds to know that it’s all institutionalized yammering that might sound half decent if you were on a whole lot of drugs. Schreck tries talking about dates that have “power” or ancient gods or an equinox somewhere along the line. But everything presented (in almost two whole hours) is stretched so thin you could use it as a window pane.
