What to say after watching this exploit insanity except: Oh Boy!
Despite low budget and amateur cast, movie is pretty well made with a pretty experimental approach in the way it was shoot and directed. Full of full nudity, sex, LSD, satanic orgies and unbelieveable brutal violence (culminating in Tate/LaBianca murders sequences), original Mansons song recordings and all mixed in an very interresting way that results with IMHO "ultimate" exploit movie (at least of these days).
Actually, watching movie I felt like I was on a LSD trip (I never was on LSD "trip" but I can expect it looks like this - the whole movie looks like a hell of a LSD "trip" !) and big "gore"finale was so tense that must "smash" you in the face: so much brutality, stabbing, and again stabbing and brutality and delirium that murderers have during orgy of violence is shocking beyond belief!
I don't know how accurate Van Bebber was in showing all events from a "family's point of view" - is it pure artistic approach or god reconstruction (on movie site he claims that it is product of heavy researching) but if it is realistic enough to shock you from head to toe if you have a nerves and strong stomach to watch it from start to end.
