Trivia:
The film played a couple of festivals as a work-in-progress in 1997. This was the work print of the film complete with splices, grease pencil marks and rough sound and projected from a video tape. The film ran out of funding and was not completed until Blue Underground became involved. Only then was the negative cut, the sound edited and mixed, the beginning and end titles shot and the film blown-up to 35mm and the newly completed film was first shown on 18 August 2003. more

Gritty and disturbing horror film., 8 March 2005
8/10
Author: HumanoidOfFlesh from Chyby,Poland

Jim Van Bebber's "The Manson Family" is an extremely violent and bloody horror film that reconstructs the early activities of the Family and their descent into the Tate-LaBianca killings.Van Bebber mixes this with a contemporary sub plot involving tabloid journalist Jack Wilson's quest to film a documentary on the subject.The film is loaded with plenty of sex and full-frontal nudity.The final third of "The Manson Family" is a grueling nightmare with some of the most sadistic and savage murders ever captured on screen.The acting is generally amateurish,although Marc Pitman is truly impressive as Tex.The photography perfectly captures the hazy sex-and-drug fuelled lifestyle that Charlie and his largely female disciples indulged in on their Californian ranch.The killings themselves are extremely graphic and gory as hell,so I was satisfied.The scene of blood drinking orgy is truly frightening as is the slow progression of Charlie from a peaceful Jesus Christ figure to Satan himself."The Manson Family" is easily one of the most controversial and disturbing horror films ever made.Give it a look.
