Why watch this film?
Our suggestions
Three young boys playing in the nearby woods never come home for dinner. In the rush to find and convict the killers, police focus on a trio of teenagers suspected of devil worship.
"This thriller is inspired by the book Devil's Knot: The True Story of the West Memphis Three, which recounts the case of the West Memphis Three, three teenagers sentenced (two to life in prison, one to death) for the alleged murder of three children in 1993, allegedly as part of satanic rituals, in a case tainted by so-called "Satanic Panic" in the United States. Directed by Canadian Atom Egoyan (The Guest) and starring Colin Firth, Reese Witherspoon and Dane DeHaan, Devil's Knot explores the collective hysteria that surrounded the case and the conviction of the three teenagers, forming an impactful portrait of an era marked by ideological manipulation."
