The Murders at Starved Rock (2021)
Hairdresser wastes time with narcissist passion project.
17 December 2021 - 34 out of 56 users found this review helpful.
The Murders at Starved Rock is the worst of the "personal history murder mystery genre". In this documentary, a lost former hair dresser attempts to investigate a 1960s murder in his hometown, that his father prosecuted the murderer for. The filmmaker combines endless hearsay and conspiracy theories to cast doubt on the case. Unfortunately, the story is not really about the murder, rather it is about a lost son trying to prove to his accomplished father that he is a man of substance. This is a story that could have been resolved in therapy. The director's hair cuts, facial hair, and eyewear are funniest and best part of this series.
