Customer Reviews of Paradise Lost 2 - Revelations

5 Stars, though not quite on a par with the first
Paradise Lost introduced us to what may be the most frightening onscreen villain in years : a biased judicial system. 24 jury members (2 separate trials) that had made up their minds before they had even set foot into the court room. And like any good villain, it has to slaughter a few innocents to be really scary. PL2:Revelations shows us the aftermath of said slaughter: The seemingly destroyed lives of Jessie Misskelly, Jason Baldwin, and Damien Echols (Even though they seem to have come to terms with their fate. That doesn't mean we should). Just like a good horror sequel, it shows us that the monster is even bigger and more powerful than previously guessed. The prejudice towards the 3 innocents spreads a lot further than the original trial courtroom. We have some heroes along the way in the name of the Free The West Memphis 3 organization, and seemingly at the center of it all, John Mark Byers, one of the parents of the 3 murdered children, and the mysterious death of his wife. Just like the first, this film moves, touches, infuriates, frustrates, and compels everyone I know who has come in contact with it. It is a testament to how powerful a film camera can truly be, and regardless of your opinion on whether or not the 3 are innocent, it is impossible to walk away from this film and forget it. This, like the first, is one of those film experiences that will haunt you for a long, long time. Don't miss it.

Very Important Documentary - A Must See
Both Paradise Lost and Revelations are full of terrifying facts: Three teenage boys convicted of murder and the only "proof" the prosecutors have is a coerced confession full of inconsistencies; A mail order "doctor" who claims that the crimes were committed as a Wicca ritual (with confusing and nonsensical information to try to support it); and claims that the color of one's clothing or their music preference is enough to assume one is guilty. The defense attorneys, however, are more than able to show reasonable doubt and botched police investigations, which resulted in missing evidence and other suspects who were never questioned. Although it doesn't prove who actually committed the crimes, it does prove that the West Memphis Three didn't get fair trials and a judge who refuses to see the real facts of the case. And the most terrifying fact of all: After watching it, you'll realize that it could happen to any one of us. Any of us could end up on death row for a crime we neither committed, nor had any knowledge of.
