manson

Severin Films is celebrating the 10-year anniversary of Jim VanBebber’s true-crime drama The Manson Family with a limited 20-city theatrical run and a special edition Blu-ray release. The controversial film will play in selected Landmark theaters beginning on March 22, and arrives on Blu-ray on May 7.

The press release reads:

The Manson Family delivers an uncompromising, brutal vision of the collapse of the “Love Generation.” On a ranch outside of LA, the hippie dream is perverting into something evil. What was once an oasis of free love and acid trips has become ground zero for a madman’s paranoid visions.

An average group of kids, the “Family,” become engulfed in a delusional world where torment and slaughter are considered the path to righteousness. The Manson Family is a dizzying, rapid-fire vision of the sex and violence that unifies the misguided group and, at the direction of their leader, ends in a brutal spree leaving seven people dead in 48 hours.
