DVD Review: Helter Skelter Revisited+
Summary: 4 Stars
So many Manson documentaries have given the viewing public such scant information over the years,that the mythical urban legend has completely replaced any shred a truth left.This documentary hits upon some interesting connections not widely known,and unfortunately reinforces some of the false fables of Helter Skelter.I don't believe in opening wounds ,just to pour salt into.Yet,there needs to be a clear record of what went on.This documentary shows all the places the 'Family' traveled to,and giving some interesting stories about the various sites and people. Halfway through,the narrator points out that Roman Polansky believed that rock legends John Phillips and Mama Cass Elliot were behind the Helter Skelter murders.Vrytek Frykovsky recieved some fifty-one stab wounds,while others received only a dozen or two stab wounds.It seems Vrytek was the main intended victim,over a disputed drug-deal.Roman Polansky obtained Cass Elliot's little list of connections,and found names crossed out with the words 'PIG' written in.The same word was smeared across the blood bespeckled frontdoor.Something strange went on during those hot August days of 1969.The video provides the best visual documentary of the various crime scenes and places of interest.I think the one main thing I got out of watching this travel documentary,was that Manson was already 'Dead Man Walking'.Charlie didn't want to be released into public society again.Charlie was a mark man,by well-connected prisoners who knew how to manipulate the system,inside and outside the walls. The Helter-Skelter plot was just a way for the real players to blame a Hollywood newby ,like Manson,if their drug-schemes every fell apart.And indeed it did.Manson frustrated at his artistic failures,relished the sub-lime light,and his new found notority.All the places,left standing,that the Mansons stumbled into,are shown.Many places ,long time gone,are not discussed.The 'Yellow Submarine' house,Cole street,Henry Haight/Ashbury,and Ralph's Market are just a few of the places skipped over.This is perhaps the best visual roadmap around yet,from the devil-may-care dune-buggy days til the final fortnight of Helter Skelter.
