Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror 2d
4/5
Not only is it well-made and told, but Dr. Caroline Muirhead is also simply fantastic in her honesty and directness. I could not stop watching it... Go to Full Review

Patrick C @RT46159455 11h This is the worse documentary I’ve ever seen. If you start it and hope it’s going to get better…it’s not going to. Whoever decided this was interesting enough to make a documentary about has had a really dull existence. Just don’t bother with this one. See more Joe G @RT40885264 15h Incredibly repetitive and uninteresting. Not only that, but the excuses this chick made for the whole thing were contrived and she’s a psycho herself. Save yourself the time and skip this one. See more Gingernut B @Gingernut 1d This could have been interesting on so many fronts but instead it was irritating. It seemed to purposefully keep implying that something far more sinister had happened than actually did. They could have had equal focus on each aspect of this matter given there were three episodes. I ended up thinking they were all loathsome especially the prosecutor and defence. All these men laying this huge burden on Caroline, not caring when she fell apart and asked for help then blaming her for losing the plot. She was clearly suffering from ptsd. What a bunch of ****’s. See more Trippy V @TrippyVixen 1d I imagine I may be in the minority here but I am far from thinking Caroline is some sort of brave hero. Time after time she made poor decision after poor decision and, like watching a lead in a horror movie continually making the WORST decision and you want to yell, "WTF are you doing?!" after a while, you stop rooting for them. You end up just waiting to see how bad they can mess it all up - you made your bed .... It was almost unbearable watching this "intelligent" woman make the absolute worst decisions and then compound them with indifference and apathy (for herself and for the victim and his family, who are all but lost in this) and compensate for a total lack of coping skills with drugs, alcohol and self-pity. I have seen many call her a hero or strong but she is none of these. She is as cowardly and reckless as the boys. She is no hero and simply because she MAYBE realized how pathetic a character she was, she does not deserve praise or adoration. She almost blew the case! See more Read all reviews
