Wisconsin Death Trip (1999)
Country: US/GB
Technical: bw/col 76m
Director: James Marsh
Cast: doc
Synopsis:
For over a year during the 1890s a small Wisconsin town is gripped by a fever of insanity and murder.
Review:
Conveying something of the insanity to be found in the rural hinterland of Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the rest, this chilling dramatised documentary tells in detached voiceover of what happens when people live for too long under the dichotomy of a repressive society and a vast, enveloping and misunderstood natural environment. Cf. The Crucible, I guess.
