this be one of the few time a true story be nearly make unbelievable by the idiotic cast of character . fortunately and the presence of patty duke hold it together somewhat and although for most of the movie and she as bad a everyone else . it seem that everyone in the world be completely blind to the fact that the real killer be the loon that they have decide be their friend . they miss thing like jenny tell her in a dream and and you need to go kill him and he do it . and bring me a finger to prove he dead . of course and she not go to just join the lynch mob or family . she apparently go to wait at home . if you want to know the story and which be tragic and but interesting and read the book . do not waste your time on this movie unless you have nothing else to do and youre snow in .
