9 d. ago The crimewave sweeping Britain? Illegal houses in multiple occupation | Aditya Chakrabortty

With private-sector villainy and public-sector complicity, what makes this HMO scandal so characteristic of modern Britain is how far the guilt spreadsFan of true crime? Then this column is for you. Rather than some cold case told through yellowing newspapers and sepia photos, this one is still happening. And just wait for the plot twist! But first let me outline the key facts; your challenge is to decide who’s guilty.Our crime scene is a redbrick townhouse built in the last years of Victoria – tall, battered but undeniably handsome. It’s in Bowes Park, on London’s northern outskirts – the kind of neighbourhood that on a Friday afternoon offers nice cafes, a community-owned pub and some WFH dads wandering the streets scavenging for ciabatta sandwiches.Aditya Chakrabortty is a Guardian columnist Continue reading...

1 week ago The Last Sacrifice review – how a gruesome rural murder embedded folk

Rupert Russell’s fascinating documentary is a sophisticated analysis of how real life and fiction merged in post-empire Britain in the 1960s and 70sCentred on the unsolved 1945 murder of Warwickshire farm labourer Charles Walton in Lower Quinton, this fascinating and feverish documentary starts under the true-crime umbrella. But it quickly expands, exploring the killing’s influence on the emerging folk-horror film genre, particularly 1973’s The Wicker Man, and almost reaching Adam Curtis-type grand sociology in mining these pop-cultural ley lines for what they say about the British psyche.After Walton was found on Meon Hill with a pitchfork pushed through his head and a billhook in his neck, rumour soon spread that his murder was ritualistic.

1 week ago Strange Harvest review – lurid horror expertly disguised as true crime

Stuart Ortiz’s convincingly faked crime documentary details the hunt for a Los Angeles serial killer dubbed Mr ShinyFor its first few minutes, this comes on like a standard true crime documentary: establishing shots of the Greater Los Angeles area, talking heads introduce themselves as police officers and friends of the victims, and we zoom in on a handwritten list of names until one particular name fills the screen. All the tricks of the trade are here, and director Stuart Ortiz plays things more or less straight. In fact it’s a mockumentary: not a parody but instead a horror movie that happens to be told using the format of a true crime documentary.The story, about a masked killer called Mr Shiny (if you think this name strains credibility, don’t forget there are real serial killers nicknamed the Happy Face Killer, the Dating Game Killer and the Doodler), is functional enough. There are lurid details of the killings, and police officers talking about how the crimes were beyond bel...
