Soaked in Bleach (2015) User Reviews

Raises some interesting questions that should rightly be answered

[daniel-mannouch · 7/10 · 4 May 2020]

Soaked in Bleach is an intriguing, if slightly meandering docudrama on the death of Kurt Cobain that is still to this day shrouded in mystery. For a direct to dvd documentary i remember hearing nothing about back in the day, especially one about a subject as TMZ as this, i was surprised at how good the film looked, how well interviews were together and how close to the facts it was.

Though Soaked in Bleach comes in with a predisposition on what happened back in 1994, it puts it's case across rather well. The most insightful and interesting part of the whole documentary for me was how inept the investigation was by the Seattle police department into Cobain's death. They readily believed it to be a suicide based on tabloid news coverage alone, minus one forged missing persons form by Courtney Love, and if Soaked in Bleach is to be believed, conducted literally no investigation into the death and wrote it off as a suicide the same day they found the body.

This fascinating insight and several more are what you will find in soaked in bleach, a remarkably decent examination of it's subject and one that's well worth a watch for Nirvana fans and true crime fans alike.

This documentary will definitely make you wonder about Kurt Cobains death. 6/10

[leonblackwood · 6/10 · 30 November 2015]

Review: This is yet another documentary which proves that Kurt Cobains so-called suicide, wasn't as straight forward as it seemed. The difference with this documentary is that the investigator who was hired by Courtney Love is telling his story about the events that led to the finding of Kurt Cobains body in 1994. I must admit, after hearing all of the evidence from the hired PI, Tom Grant, it really does sound like he was murdered but it's been over 20 years since they found his body so I doubt that the case will see the light of day. The amount of heroin that was found in his body was shocking and the placing of the shotgun shell was extremely suspect. Also, Courtney Love's actions before his death was questionable and the fact that Kurt planned to divorce Courtney, gave her a motif but everyone believed her story, even though the PI had evidence about the suicide note being tampered with. The sad thing about the whole conspiracy is that 68 people have committed suicide to copy Kurt Cobains death so if all of the information isn't true, they would have died in vain. Anyway, this is a well put together documentary which will definitely have people questioning his death and I liked the fact the they used the real recordings of the conversations between the PI and Courtney Love. I just hope that they release all of the evidence, including the photographs and an examination of the death note, because they need to put all of these conspiracy theories to bed. Watchable!

Round-Up: I must admit, I was a bit of a Nirvana fan after I heard there smash hit, Smells Like Teen Spirit, so Kurt Cobains death did hit me a bit. I wasn't into the whole Nirvana, grunge movement but I did enjoy there music and no one has been able to touch there sound since then. For a three piece band, they certainly made there presence known and I must be honest, I didn't know what Kurt Cobain was saying half of the time but I couldn't help making up my own words whilst singing along to there tunes. Anyway, if your not into there music, this documentary is still worth a watch because the whole case definitely isn't as straight forward as it seems.

I recommend this movie to people who are into their documentary/crime/drama movies about the death of Kurt Cobain. 6/10

Surprisingly Good

[gavin6942 · 7/10 · 24 November 2015]

The film provides a look at inconsistencies in the death of Kurt Cobain (portrayed by Tyler Bryan), the lead singer of the American grunge band Nirvana, as seen through the perspective of private investigator and former police detective Tom Grant (portrayed by Daniel Roebuck).

I was skeptical going in to this one. First, I am not very susceptible to conspiracy theories. I tend to believe if the Cobain death was ruled a suicide, it was probably a suicide. But also, I have seen "Kurt and Courtney" so I thought the ground was already covered.

This is actually a better film that "Kurt and Courtney". Not as entertaining, because we don't have colorful characters like El Duce. But more informative. We actually have a thorough analysis from someone who was there, on the scene, within 24 hours of the death. This is must-see for anyone interested in Cobain.

Excellent film

[eddymccarter · 13 June 2015]

Unlike most negative reviews that have been written before the film has even come about I watched this today. Overall I think it was put together very well and it revealed official tapes recorded by Tom I had never heard before and bizarre statements from Courtney. Film is gripping and certainly keeps you talking long after it's over with your friends and family

Ironically Courtney Love is suing many places showing it this weekend. If she has nothing to hide then why stop it.

I do recommend for you to see this film and share it with others and one day the case could be reopened and handled the correct way to seek the truth.

Eye Opening

[samfischer88 · 7/10 · 26 November 2015]

I'll try to keep this short and let the documentary give all the real facts. I am a huge Cobain fan and have had suspicions about this entire investigation. This documentary has added to the strength of my suspicions and really is eye opening about how the case was handled. People need to watch this to see some cold hard proof that the case was handled poorly at the time. All that is really talked about is facts by using notes and recordings that were from people close to Cobain, including Courtney Love. There were some reenactments that didn't have real recordings that do take away some credibility since those parts can't be proved. That shouldn't take away from what was proved though. The recording showed some inconsistencies with the police report. The police chief at the time was even interviewed and said that the case should be reopened. This documentary by no means answered all the questions, but it raises some good points that should be investigated in the future. If you have questions about Cobain's death, definitely give this documentary a try. The private investigator provides a side to the story that really helps with some understanding and makes a lot of good points.

Just the Facts!

[crocelover · 10/10 · 10 June 2015]

I recently completed my Masters thesis on the topic of Kurt Cobain's death. I was simply prepared to write mostly about how Cobain's death impacted the musical landscape. That was until I visited the website of Tom Grant cobaincase dot com. It had confirmed the lingering doubts I had for many years regarding the cause of Kurt's death.

Grant who was hired by Cobain's wife, Courtney Love days before Kurt died, had a front row perspective as to the happenings surrounding the time and cause of Kurt's passing. He has generously shared decades of his tireless work here in this film in order to dispel all the rumors, gossip and statements made by people with something to gain, or protect.

Grant (and film director, Benjamin Statler) are only interested in bringing to light the facts of this case. Anyone who takes the time to watch Soaked in Bleach will not be able to ignore the obvious conclusion that Kurt Cobain was murdered and now deserves justice.

Well made in any case. Contains spoilers.

[nickdefever-03857 · 7/10 · 12 June 2015]

A difficult subject to review for sure.

This centers around a real event concerning real people we don't know and have never met. It also makes big allegations. I almost wish this was a piece of fiction so I would feel less awkward.

However, this documentary looks, and is presented well. "Evidence" gets presented well. Some interesting people with official titles speak their minds. However I think we should question everything that gets presented to us here as we would anything else. It's easy to let your emotions decide for you.

This documentary will most likely divide people. It's a search for truth after all. What is fact/fiction? Objective/subjective?

The documentary made me think and it raised questions, and I formed somewhat of an opinion as a result. I was entertained, but felt a little uneasy because of the real life events. It was well worth the watch.

Excellent!

[caroline_rohling · 10/10 · 1 June 2015]

Look at the stats and you'll see that people are giving bad reviews (1 stars) on this film 100 at a time. Sounds like an automated campaign to me. This started before the film was even released on 6/11. Courtney Love is also trying to intimidate cinemas from showing this film by having her attorneys send threatening letters. Most are ignoring her threats. There is so much information in this documentary you'll need to watch it more than once to catch it all. I've watched this film several times and I constantly pick up new info. Based on Tom Grant's actual recordings, case files, and observations during the days leading up to Cobain's death, this film takes painstaking steps to ensure accuracy. Thorough the use of actual recordings, you will hear Courtney Love explain how she easily lies to manipulate the press. Although she hires Tom on April 3rd (Easter Sunday) to try to find her missing husband, she conveniently leaves out critical information (he was seen by their nanny at his own house on April 2nd). She has Grant search everywhere except their house until April 6th. Love is clearly obstructing the investigation, keeping Grant away from the house until she is ready for him to look there. Why? Includes police reports and interviews with expert forensic scientists and medical examiners across the country. The physical evidence suggests another person in the room as Cobain could not have pulled the trigger with the level of heroin in his system. The shotgun shell isn't where it should be. And, Love and Cobain were in the midst of a divorce. The film also includes comments from the former Seattle Chief of Police, Norm Stamper, who says, "If I were the Chief today, I would reopen this investigation." Watch this film and make your own decision. What really happened to Kurt Cobain in April, 1994?

Courtney Did It...The Movie Sells..???

[MovieHoliks · 6/10 · 28 August 2015]

I've seen a few different documentaries about Courtney Love supposedly having something to do with her late hubbie's death- Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain, and it's looking more and more like she did it. This latest doc I watched off Showtime interviews several former private detectives, police and forensics experts- all pointing to her guilt. I remember a great doc I saw a few years back called "Kurt and Courtney", which seemed to pinpoint all the same evidence. This one really doesn't offer anything new except maybe some interviews with close friends of Kurt who pointed out he was anything but suicidal near his death. My only issue with buying into all this is it seems the movie is going to sell easier if Courtney is indeed guilty, not the other way around-?? Whatdyu think- ??

Factual, Backed Up By SPD Reports, Taped Calls & Expert Testimony. This Is Not Fluff!

[mandimahdavi-1 · 10/10 · 11 June 2015]

Soaked In Bleach is a solid 10. Please ignore the very many 1* reviews from blatant supporters aka minions of Courtney Love, this is now their desperate and pathetic attempt to sabotage this release. The expert testimony was AWESOME, lead by Dr Cyril Wecht (world leading forensic pathologist) who proved that it was scientifically IMPOSSIBLE for Cobain to have shot himself. Furthermore, the explanation of the grip on the shotgun was new to me, and proved impossible for Kurt to have shot himself. These two facts are strong enough alone to convince the most uninformed. Anyone attempting to outwit these individuals are frankly morons. To top it off, Norm Stamper cemented it all. Soaked In Bleach covered all the bases, and i am confident people will be encouraged to read The Cobain Case manual and/or Love & Death for further details. Credit must be given to Statler and team for the great cinematography, and cleverly weaving the taped calls in to the dialogue. I look forward to seeing how this case unravels; here is hoping someone with the right conscience and power to step forward and set the ball rolling for an independent reinvestigation. It's the very small justice Kurt Cobain deserves.

Based on FACTS

[mimr-07495 · 10/10 · 10 June 2015]

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Someone has people deliberately sabotaging the rating of this film. If you take a look at the ratings scale, you will notice people voted primarily 1 or 10, not much in between, which indicates "tampering." Courtney Love has her attorneys sending "Cease & Desist" letters to theaters showing this film, which is based on FACTS. Tom Grant's audio recordings of his phone conversations with her, in addition to forensic science prove that Kurt Cobain could not have shot himself, which means he was murdered. Courtney had a motive for wanting Kurt dead. The #1 reason being that Kurt wanted a divorce & asked to have Courtney's name removed from his will. Four days after Kurt's body was found, Hole's ironically entitled album "Live Through This" was released (April 12,1994).

NOTE TO THEATERS: If Courtney Love hasn't sued Tom Grant in 21 years, what makes you think that she can sue you?? SHE CAN'T. It is a scare tactic! SHOW THE FILM, and let the public decide!!!

Here are some quotes from Courtney. She practically shoves it in our faces that she got away with murder. How's that for a spin?

"In rock stardom there's an absolute economic upside to self-destruction. What makes the most money for this business? Dead rock stars." Courtney Love (SPIN magazine, Oct. 2005)

"I married a guy, he killed himself, I inherited everything. That's the way it goes." Courtney Love (SPIN magazine. Feb. 2010)

I find it pathetic that people are down-rating this film before it's been released. I wonder who could possibly be behind this? Forensic science doesn't lie. If people would take the time to examine the evidence that is publicly available, such as the Seattle Police Department's reports on Kurt's death, they would see that it was not investigated at all. The first responding officers arrive at 8:56am on April 8, 1994. By 9:50am, less than an hour later, Kurt's death is officially ruled a suicide. How is this even possible? How could they determine the manner of death PRIOR to an autopsy and a toxicology report? Which leads to another problem. Courtney Love was personal friends with the medical examiner who performed Kurt's autopsy. This is a complete conflict of interest. Given the massive amount of heroin that Kurt Cobain was injected with, a triple lethal dose for the most severe addict, a 75X lethal dose for a non-addict, medical experts say that it would have been impossible for Kurt to shoot himself. He would've either been immediately incapacitated or dead. Yet, his shirt sleeves were rolled down & the caps had been placed back on the syringes. The shotgun had been loaded with 3 shells. Why? In case he missed? The expended shell casing was found on the opposite side of the ejection port, to Kurt's left. It should have landed to his right. No legible fingerprints were found on any of the items from the scene including the shotgun, expended shotgun shell casing, nor the two shotgun shells (live). I look forward to the world finally knowing the truth behind Kurt Cobain's death.

Review of "Soaked In Bleach" after viewing:

I've been waiting for over a year to see "Soaked In Bleach," and I can tell you right now, it was worth the torturous wait. It was way better than I actually expected. In fact, it was phenomenal. It was primarily documentary assisted by reenactments with actors, but even those were fantastic. The actual audio recordings that Tom Grant made were used in these scenes and were either dubbed over or blended with the actors' voices. Sarah Scott nailed Courtney Love. She was totally spot on. August Emerson, who played Dylan Carlson, Kurt Cobain's best friend was so good that I could not tell the difference between his voice & Dylan Carlson's. These reenactments were impeccable! But my biggest surprise was seeing certain experts that I had no idea would be in the film. I don't want to give anything away, but I have never been so impressed with a documentary / film in my life. It was absolutely spectacular, & Benjamin Statler obviously made sure that every detail, down to the lighting & the music went with the mood of what actually occurred to make this film as accurate and authentic as possible. I give it 20 stars out of 10!!

The investigation (since there was never one to begin with) into Kurt Cobain's death needs to be reopened immediately by an authority other than the Seattle Police Department. With Det. Mike Ciesynski still on their force, they are incapable of being unbiased & all remaining evidence should be immediately handed over to the FBI. PERIOD.

Inadequate

[Cynnik · 1/10 · 5 January 2016]

Tom Grant has long said he has hundreds of hours of documentation that proves that Courtney had a hand in Kurt's murder. I was ready to have my mind blown. Not a single thing in this documentary affirmed his position. Courtney's behavior in the film is consistent with a drug addict, and he himself said she was high in all of those recordings. Listening to the audio, it really sounds like she believed he was alive.

Tom Grant has made a name for himself based on these extreme assumptions and hunches. So many of these have been explained and debunked, especially the level of heroin in the bloodstream, but Grant refuses to acknowledge them. They say there is a lack of similar cases in law enforcement records, but do not acknowledge the medical studies.

I was very disappointed in this film, but it laid my doubts of Courtney's statements to rest. IF anything, IF Kurt REALLY had help, the most logical thing that comes to me is that his friend may have assisted him in his suicide. That's a stretch though, and is solely based on this documentary. Nothing else has ever pointed me to think this.

One thing that really irked me about the film, though, is that they have people "close" to Kurt that say he didn't seem depressed and they didn't think he was suicidal. Exactly. That is typical for a clinically depressed person. Adult suicides are usually shocking for that very reason.

A well made film

[mdoraninaz · 10/10 · 11 June 2015]

I just watched this film late last night and was impressed with the quality. The facts compared to the things the public was told back in 1994 are quite different. My wife and I learned what we thought was the truth from MTV back then.

The film makers did a very nice job of presenting many facts that were hidden from the public. It is unfortunate that the Seattle police never did their job properly by investigating his death before declaring it a suicide.

I would recommend watching this to anyone that is even remotely interested.

Based on the evidence

[herecomesthesun-24202 · 10/10 · 9 June 2015]

Judging from the work Tom Grant has done, which will be showcased in this film, it deserves much acclaim. Courtney Love can buy as many 1 star reviews for this film as she wants ( there's companies that specialize is altering online "reputations"), just look at all the bogus hacking on YouTube, giving people tons of views their content never actually received. You can even pay for followers on Instagram. We live in a very fake time, so either way, this will bring hordes of movie goers and all people around the world to watch it. This is where Tom Grant and Kurt Cobain , wins, in my view. Nice try Courtney, the world is on Kurt's side this time.

Justice for Kurt

[peterrice-86078 · 10/10 · 11 June 2015]

Sadly the IMDb rating system for this film was completely sabotaged before the documentary even came out.Ignore the reviews and make up your own mind. The re enactment portions of the documentary are very well made with a great portrayal of Courtney Love by actress Sarah Scott.The set design is terrific too,when I first saw the trailer I had initially presumed they had gotten access to film on the original Cobain property. All of that is beside the point of course, the real purpose of this film is that it will serve as an informative and accurate reference point in the "popular culture" and general discourse surrounding Kurt's death, and hopefully eclipse the frustratingly shoddy conclusions reached in the Nick Broomfield documentary that have since passed into "fact" and would have thrown many of the curious off the truth back in the 90's.

Great Documentary - Good Argument

[spygirlkd · 9/10 · 11 June 2015]

As someone who has been following this case for only about a year, I've obviously had my doubts, but not after watching this movie. What you'll be presented with are actual audio recordings, re-enactments of some events (as those were not video-recorded), interviews with forensic professionals (pathologists, the former chief of the Seattle Police Department), etc. I learned things I didn't know that only further prove, to me, the truth, that Kurt did not choose (nor want) to end his life.

The information was presented in both an easy to understand, as well as an interesting to watch, way. I would recommend this to ANYONE, no matter how you believe he died. You might be surprised with what you learned.

I am very satisfied with this movie, I think it was excellent, well worth the wait, and the money I paid for it. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did.

Excellent Film - Just The Facts

[violetaviolata · 18 June 2015]

Everyone needs to see this film. It is perhaps the best, most honest documentary that I have ever seen. Extremely different from any film ever made on the subject (and I have seen them all). The filmmakers just lay out the undisputed facts, and these are facts that the public needs (and has a right to) know. The actual tape recorded conversations are used as a basis for the film. Nobody should make any decisions in regard to this matter without seeing this film first. Those of us who were around back then will never forget. Praying this film will serve as a catalyst for some measure of justice to finally be served. This has been covered up for 21 years too long. At an absolute minimum, by watching this film, the public will know the truth.

Tom Grant Presents an Obviously Flawed Theory

[irisrainchild · 1/10 · 12 April 2016]

Absolutely shocked at the contents of this film.

(contains spoilers)

The "cadaveric spasm" was never mentioned in the SPD reports like Tom Grant claims. The fingerprints were not legible, this does not mean that the gun was wiped down. There were seven prints analyzed, but they were not clear enough to be lifted. If there was no skin oil, partial prints, and smudges from his skin then that would be red flag. But that is not the case.

Janis J Parker examined the actual suicide note for two weeks after Cobain's body was found. She confirmed that it was written entirely by Cobain's hand. Handwriting experts have questioned the suicide note, but have not been able to come to a firm conclusion because they were not examining the actual note. Some of these handwriting experts (examining the copy) did say it was entirely written by Cobain, none of them have concluded that it was not.

The credit card was delayed. The officers that Tom Grant questioned about the questionable activity on the card after Cobain was found talked to the Seafirst bank, whom said that the credit card was delayed. Tom Grant was not happy with the statement, and still ignores it to this day. If you look at the top line of the credit card log provided by Grant - the first line reads "4/2/94 / $478.00 / DELTA AIR" this is proof that the credit card was indeed delayed because Cobain bought the plane ticket on April 1, not April 2.

The toxicology results that Tom Grant mentions in the film - cannot actually be the true toxicology results. The toxicology reports were to be released to the Cobain family three weeks after Cobain's body was found, as a police officer stated to the media that day. The newspaper (that Tom Grant is trusting) released the "results" of the toxicology reports just SEVEN DAYS later, from an "anonymous source". This is impossible since toxicology results are usually known after 4-6 weeks, because it is an extremely thorough process that must be done extremely precisely. Tom Grant is trusting an unreliable source.

Even if these toxicology reports were correct, Cobain would have still been unable to overdose - or be incapacitated. The lethal dose for opiate NAIVE individual is 75 - 600 mg, an opiate naives individual is someone that has a lack of experience with opiates and heroin. There have been several legal cases and studies in which heroin addicts have tolerated more than 1800 mg of heroin, and not even felt sick. Average daily dose for a heroin addict is 491 mg. Kurt Cobain had 225 mg in his system.

As you can see, Tom Grant's logic is absolutely flawed. I am disgusted with this movie and it's claims.

Finally! I have been waiting for a documentary like this for a long time.

[shazzadee88 · 10/10 · 9 June 2015]

From what I have seen so far, this documentary was made with a lot of blood, sweat and tears. I think that Benjamin Statler has done a wonderful job and should be commended for taking significant risk in investing his own time and money into something this controversial, and I hope that his work gets the recognition that it deserves come June 11th. I also hope that it will become to Australia very soon, but if not, I will find a way to give you my money. I recommend that people do not give this movie a one star because they don't want other people to see it; that is the most childish form of censorship. I think it is ridiculous that IMDb allows you to rate something that isn't released yet. Please give this movie a chance. Unlike Montage of Heck, Soaked In Bleach intends to present an accurate picture of Kurt's last months. Watch it, ask questions and verify the facts in this documentary. No one expects you to take this documentary at face value.

Ambitious docudrama about the death of Kurt Cobain

[neussischroedersssi · 10/10 · 10 June 2015]

Obviously there are some trolls here, giving this movie the worst rating without even seeing it yet. The movie Soaked in Bleach was released in Germany yesterday on BluRay and DVD. Therefore i had the opportunity to watch it and here is my review: Kurt Cobain - Tod einer Ikone (Original title: Soaked in Bleach) is the movie Courtney doesn't want you to see. Therefore Courtney and consorts created the propaganda movie Montage of Heck to distract the attention from Soaked in Bleach. If there is a conspiracy movie, it's definitely the fantasy saga Montage of Heck, filled with lies and stuff completely taken out of context just to present Courney's „official" story once again and to misrepresent Kurt Cobain in the worst way.

The only context between these two movies is that Soaked in Bleach starts at the point, that was left out completely in Montage of Heck. The death of Kurt Cobain.

Soaked in Bleach details the events leading up to the death of Kurt Cobain, as seen through the perspective of Tom Grant, the private detective who was hired by Courtney Love to find Cobain, her husband, shortly before his death in 1994.

Benjamin Statler's movie is directed like a crime thriller and combines official case files, tape recordings with current interviews and reenactments. The thrilling movie is focused on Tom Grant's investigation from the days between April 1 and April 8. All the inconsistencies about the official suicide theory are analyzed in the minutest details.

Interviews with Tom Grant, Norm Stamper (ex-chief of the Seattle Police Department), Cyril Wecht (president of the American Academy of Forensic Science) and others like friends of Kurt and many experts involved in the investigation are giving the audience an entire picture about the impossibility, that Kurt could have killed himself.

All important arguments and reports taken by the Seattle Police Department and the medical examiner, who declared Kurt's death as a suicide, are analyzed and disproved in this master piece.

This movie will open your eyes and you will realize that you were fooled by Courtney and the media since 21 years. It is not for „conspiracy theorists", it's for people who have a sense of justice and was made also to clarify all the details in an understandable way for the mainstream audience.

Well done

[karenzbox · 10/10 · 11 June 2015]

I strongly think that everyone is giving this movie a bad rating because they're on Courtney's side and had already watched Montage of Heck. I didn't watch Montage of Heck because Courtney invaded Kurt's privacy and if he were alive to this day he would have NEVER agreed to be exposed like that. And all for? For money. I want to tell everyone to watch this movie because you have to hear the story from both sides. I think they did an excellent job! The ending was so touching and I am currently recommending it to my family and friends and they are all going to watch it. Yes it is that great! I am a Nirvana die hard fan and I honestly can believe that Dave and Krist where in this movie... I am honestly disappointed in them, I thought that Kurt meant something to them than "my friend who killed himself"..but anyways, the filming is stunning! Very clear and straight to the point.

Worth Watching

[MissE1981 · 10/10 · 12 June 2015]

I went into this movie with an open mind as someone who was a teenager when Kurt Cobain died. I wasn't a fan back then but I've come to enjoy Nirvana's music now.

"Soaked In Bleach" interjects actual audio recordings collected by private investigator Tom Grant during his investigation when he was hired by Courtney Love to find Kurt Cobain when she claimed he was missing. There's also forensic and criminal experts in various fields to give their opinion based on the evidence available.

The movie discusses not only Kurt's final days but the days after his death when evidence was coming to light that would cast doubt that he'd committed suicide. Not only were there inconsistencies in some of Courtney Love's stories, but there was also a botched investigation by the Seattle PD.

Even if you're not a fan, this movie is worth watching for the forensic and criminal pathology information. It's not about the death of a famous person, it's about demanding justice for a human being.

Depicts a heroin addict as happy and healthy.

[Coldwhiteroses · 3/10 · 7 December 2015]

This was a well made film and I believe the intention behind the film is genuine, one that is seeking what the makers feel is justice. However, I'm not sure anyone who made this film has ever loved or deeply known a heroin addict. I have. An active heroin addict is not a healthy, happy person. An active heroin addict with a child who has a history of being removed from their home and what appears to be an impending divorce is most definitely not happy. With 30 approaching, being terribly addicted to heroin leads to a person who does not like to look in the mirror anymore. This does not mean he committed suicide, but it troubles me Cobain was portrayed as so happy, so healthy, when any longterm drug addict knows they've burnt endless bridges, wasted too much money, lied to and deceived every person they care about. And as far as being "suicidal" one thing a drug addict knows above and beyond anything else is that they might not die today but they are slowly killing themselves regardless.

This should be amazing

[alihansendesign · 10/10 · 10 June 2015]

This documentary should blow the lid off the previous consensus that Kurt Cobain committed suicide. The trailer looks incredible, well done, and a must see for any Cobain or Nirvana fan. This looks a truly haunting documentary.

Detective Tom Grant has worked tirelessly for the last 20 years to give Kurt back his dignity and to show to the world that he did not take his own life. This documentary is the fruit of his labors.

Increasingly, the evidence does not seem to stack up, and the case needs to be re-opened. Please watch this stunning documentary and make up your own made, you will be shocked at the overwhelming evidence it brings to light. It would be an absolute miracle if this documentary contributed to the re-opening of the Cobain case..... Justice for Kurt has never been closer.....

How can anyone dispute the real facts of the murder of Kurt Cobain?

[pschraff-19372 · 10/10 · 11 June 2015]

I've been waiting for this movie for a long time, as have many others who are NOT conspiracy theorists, but average everyday people who can tell fact from fiction.

Perhaps we will never know who killed Cobain, but he at least deserves his death to be investigated properly by the Seattle Police Department.

Soaked in Bleach brilliantly delivers the pure facts of the investigation. Mr. Grant has VOLUNTEERED his time for the last 20+ years in bringing the truth to everyone who enjoyed Cobain's music. He should be applauded long and loud for his dedication and hard work, as should Benjamin Statler for creating this film. I hope, as they do, that these truths will prevent other kids from copycat suicides. I know that has been one of the most important goals of Mr. Grant's investigation all these years.

I rated this a 10 because I thought it was well-made and comprehensive of the investigation.

However, in the interest of time, many other details of the investigation were left out. Please visit http://www.cobaincase.com/freemanual.htm for all the details and a free download of the Cobain Case File that Mr. Grant has made available to anyone who wishes to have a copy.

And please share that free download with your family and friends. More people who know the facts may convince the SPD to re-open Cobain's death and investigate it as it should have been investigated on April 8, 1994.
