Evil Lives Here: I Saw Myself on Tape (2024) Season 15, Episode 6

A lack of common sense or was it the money?

[8/10 · 12 April 2024]

She says that there were no signs from the get go. Froom being offered GHB, passing out, not remembering anything and waking up in a strange and unfamiliar place. Anyone with common sense and did not know what GHB was well .... they would not have not have taken it. At the very least one would look up what it is and what it does the very next day especially after having blacked out and missing time and memories. Also where the hell was her sister???

I wonder if the reason why she and her sister chose to ignore this whole incident was because he was a rich dude who promised that he would see her again cause ain't no way.

Many of his actions that she describes to be creepy, odd or a gut feeling or could not put finger on were just plain illegal actions. Like the shower video taping. The partaking of illegal drugs that knock you out. Like ma'am.

Also I can't believe she sat there and said I wonder if he truly wanted to hurt people like the bagillion videos of him sexually violating women and burning then and using weapons to violate is all normal stuff not meant to hurt someone.

Evil Lives Here: He Shot Through My Heart (2024) Season 15, Episode 7

Poor parents...

[8/10 · 12 April 2024]

Obviously Nathan was the bad guy and he is the one who chose to take the lives of her parents but man it is always the innocent ones that have zero say in the choices made that get caught in the middle and lose their lives. Some of the victims on the show say I grew up in a dysfunctional home, I knew no better but she grew up in a loving home with a mother who was her best friend and a father who loved her and tried to protect her but she still chose to be with a man who had the exact opposite values to her family. Like that father tried man and failed him and his wife ended up losing their lives.

She was loved and supported by her parents all throughout that pregnancy but she still chose to fight for a man who denied her child from the moment of conception. It never bodes well when a guy who has been sleeping with you denies that child. You are better off getting rid of that child if you can't handle the task of being a parent or better yet write the guy off completely and take the loss.

No good ever comes from trying to convince a heartless person to love their child cause they don't and 99.9% of time they never will love that child and that's why he kept referring to the kids as her kids when it suited him and then back to being his kids when he wanted her back to abuse and control her some more.

I can't believe the court gave that man partial custody after trying to kill his wife. Another case of the justice system failing women miserably. Yes men can be victims too but lord women make up the huge bulk of the victims that end up getting offed by their deranged partners.

Can you imagine the trauma her kids will forever endure from the abuse they suffered from the father and also watching their grandparents and mother getting shot up.

Evil Lives Here: Murder in the House of Prayer (2024) Season 15, Episode 5

The herd mentality

[8/10 · 12 April 2024]

Cults can really f-up people's minds. The mother probably believed she was God's messenger granted the way her followers obeyed her like sheep. That poor man who cut off his member cause he had been talked into doing so and believed it was the right thing. Yikes. Thank God people are more aware of cult like behaviour cause the ones in the past were wilding and had some pretty devastating consequences.

However what I amdisappointed in is the silence from the adults, way after she went on a run and the church ceased to exist. None of them came forward to alert police of her crimes and guess what she was still at it. The only difference is that she could not draw too much attention to herself so she was limited to the circle of her grandchildren. That taste of power and using religion as a tool was insatiable for her. Too bad she died too early into her sentence. In one of the mugshots it looks like someone whooped her ass real good for being a baby killer. The fact that she blamed her daughter for turning her in instead of taking responsibility shows the true evil that resided in this woman.

Evil Lives Here: He Brought Roses and A Gun (2024) Season 15, Episode 4

My God these aren't even red flags

[8/10 · 12 April 2024]

Jeez. I can't even call the actions that Ray committed giant red flags because these were plain evil acts that any sane person would not even entertain. The way she tries to place some of the blame on other people to soften the blow of her own stupid actions is something else. Of course her mother did not wanna talk to her after the mother had repeatedly tried to tell her and to warn her not to date the guy but she kept lying to her time and time and again

She got pregnant and gave birth and he still treated her like crap and even tried to stab her yet she still wanted him and would do anything to be with him. What was the mother supposed to say and do when you didn't want to hear it. Even after she left her baby with Ray and came back to the horror of all the injuries the baby sustained, from the head injury, broken limbs to the baby's tongue being burned she still do not want to believe he did it.

I wonder if she even vocalised to the hospital staff about who did it. Also her pride to not tell her mother what happened cause she didn't want to hear her say "I told you so" meant that she chose not to assign and leave another relative like the mother to watch over the baby while she showered and took a much needed breath and lo and behold that man came back to try to kill the baby again. Utterly shocking!

Also the justice system extremely failed here. The way they contiously let out that vicious man to continuously inflict damage to children and other black women is shocking. Black women are likely die at the hands of black men than any other demographic because the justice system just do not care when crimes are committed against black women.

I am not sure if this lady is telling the truth about Ray Junior not wanting to to talk to her because he blames her for the death of his own father. Ray Jr surely knows the other people his father killed and also the abuse he himself endured. Something is not adding up here.

Based on her poor decision-making skills I truly wonder what Ray Jr's childhood was like. What other men came into his life and whether his mother ever prioritised him cause we already know she is the type to put her man first before her own child as evidenced by how Ray repeatedly tried to kill Ray Jr from dangling him over the open window and trying to chuck him out of the window and yet she still stayed. I feel sorry for Ray Jr. Child protective services should have taken this baby and placed him in better care.

Also if she is telling the truth, that she tried to warn Teyona. Then wow another mom who failed her child all for the love of this man. I am shocked that she even let that man in the house even after he had viciously murdered her child...... . It seems no matter how much Ray abused these women and their children they still refused to believe he did it even with the truth staring right in the face. So puzzling.

Evil Lives Here: She Hid The Knife In a Toybox (2024) Season 15, Episode 3

Poor babies!!

[8/10 · 12 April 2024]

Normally we see male family annihilators when it comes to crime shows and while women are also capable of the same crime stats show that men tend to do this far more than women . A common denominator though is both use their children as a means to an end in the fight to control their partner. They also don't love or really bond with their children. In the case Brandi her not bonding with her first child could have been easily attributed to post natal depression when instead she just was a cold heartless bish to begin with.

The tracking of the phone and wanting to see messages of who he was talking to as well as admitting to stalking him where the biggest red flags ever but he probably saw them as orange flags and should have probably run by then instead of then marrying her and them kids suffering in the end.

The nerve of her to cheat and then kill her kids because her husband did not want to stick around after being cheated on and emotionally abused. She knew them kids were loved at least by him. It was never about him taking the kids away considering she was a paralegal and nothing in her history would have made the judge to rule custody in favour of the husband. She just killed them kids cause how dare her husband walk away from her unfaithful self and move on with his life.

Her mugshot looks like a giant toddler having a major sook. Looks like she never got used to being told no. Glad she survived her suicidal attempt and has to sit there and contemplate what she did to them kids. Prison ain't kind either to baby killers.

Evil Lives Here: Butcher and The Box (2024) Season 15, Episode 1

A lot of things don't quite add up.....

[7/10 · 12 April 2024]

First and foremost Gary is the devil here. However Lori defended her husband during his trial and tried to cast doubt on the surviving victim and what was the reason for that.

Her husband terrorised her. Physically and sexually abused her own children and she still thought it wise to let her younger baby brother go with her devil of husband to do God knows what without even warning him of his manipulative tactics and how evil her husband was. The man threatened to kill your own kids if you did not come back so what could have stopped him from killing her own clueless brother. Considering how dangerous and depraved her husband was, why did she not warn her brother.

I actually believe Tim was a rotten egg too and Lori seems to be in denial of this. Tim shot that man in cold blood and it was not even self defence and let's say that Gary lied to him and threatened him etc what was the reason he helped in the sexual assault and kidnapping/confinement of an 18 yr old girl. Tim said nothing about the kidnapped girl and if she did not free herself the torture would have continued and eventually leading to her murder and God knows how many women those 2 would have colluded together to kidnap, rape and kill.

Frankly Lori should have left way earlier. She should have never married that man. I mean she was literally warned by the pastor's wife. At least she should have left when her kids were beaten to a pulp and her ex husband showed her the photos which were evidence right there but nah her daughter had to be sexually abused for her to finally leave. He probably was shocked that she even left cause he had just done about everything to her and the kids and she had never left before. She also took way too much credit for her phone call saving Brooke.

Evil Lives Here: Terror in The Wilderness (2024) Season 15, Episode 2

Poor kids.....

[6/10 · 12 April 2024]

Amazed at how the kids fought back considering they had an extremely abusive father and a passive mother who just looked the other way while her kids were being physically and sexually abused. Some boys who have been abused and grow up watching their mothers being abused become abusers and take on the same role as their father. Suprised at how the brothers stood up and challenged the father and helped the sister as well as take her to the police.

I wish the mothers in these situations had more strength to leave or at least try to protect their kids but they just won't. The boys actually left before the mother but she didn't have the self preservation to not only save herself but her babies as well.

Evil Lives Here: Trapped in a House of Torture (2023) Season 14, Episode 2

Tamara or Tammy you are one cold B

[8/10 · 14 December 2023]

What in the hell did I just watch? That daughter actually scares me. The way she is so in denial about her mother is utterly shocking. Like I am speechless, utterly speechless. I honestly need a minute........ the language she used to describe what happened to those children was so matter of fact, the way she said "It sucks to hear that this girl was being tortured while I was being doted on", "That duct tape did her in. They suffocated her. Whoever put it on her". So cold, she absolutely lacks any empathy and that is why I think she did turn out to be exactly like her mother. I would keep an eye on that one. Would not want to be her "friend". Who knows how you might end up given what happened to her childhood "friends".

The way she refuses to believe that her mother took in every single one of those kids to groom and abuse them is unbelievable but rather she chooses to blame Ricky who she describes as "that man". A 14 yr old child ?? Her mother literally raped a 14 yr old child and her response was "why didn't he just leave"? What an evil thing to say, she has utterly no sympathy for what Ricky was coerced to do. I think Ricky finally had enough and ran away and refused to come back because he was forced to help kill another person and was also being sexually and emotionally abused and I am guessing the killing was the final straw for him but again Tammy sees him as the catalyst of her mom's change. Nah your mum was always a cold heartless bish just like you are, Tammy. I also do not believe for one second the reason why she did not say anything was because she thought she was next, she just did not care and enjoyed playing with her actual friends while those children who thought she was their friend suffered. She herself said she was never abused, she went to school while the kids in her home were being tortured and chained to the floor, not going to school while she slept like a princess. If she was truly scared of her mother and being next, why did she unfailingly visit her mother for 28 years in jail and why did she take loving pics with her showing their unbreakable bond, linking hands tightly and all. You would think that would be her chance to walk away from her "potential abuser" and stop feeling "scared and afraid" as she claimed.

The fact that even as her mother died of breast cancer she never asked her a single thing about what she did to those kids is telling but hey Ricky is the one to blame for all this right? Her and her mother are 2 of the most odius beings to ever walk this planet.

I am also mad at the cops. This could have been stopped earlier with the black girl, Harriet who escaped and actually told the police what happened but they took the word of a white woman over the word of a black child clearly showing signs of abuse after being found in a ragged state and with no shoes on....typical. I am sure the moment they opened that door and saw that white woman, their opinions were already set. It doesn't even seem like they even did an inspection or checked in on the other kids. To them I am sure they thought how can this eloquent white saviour lady be harming this ghetto black child. That black child stood no chance. It's sad that her testimony was only validated cause another white child died.

And the way Tammy said "good for you" After she heard how Harriet escaped is buffling, really good for you? Same as the response "that's amazing" after she heard of how Luis escaped. Really Tammy ? That's the most appropriate thing she thought to say? I have never disliked a storyller more on this show than this woman.

A damn shame Marie did not get the electric chair that she deserved.

Evil Lives Here: Three-and-A-half Hours of Hell (2023) Season 14, Episode 8

Um yeah truly disturbing

[8/10 · 14 December 2023]

One of the most terrifying cases I have ever watched about domestic violence on this show. He was truly a monster and the way he used religion to manipulate her into staying in the marriage wow. The funny thing is had he not been caught and gone through with the affair and had he been more interested in the new lady and if that new lady had been willing to take him and if you factor in the fact that Sean was no longer having sex with the wife I bet you he would have had no qualms leaving her for the new woman yet he loved spouting nonsense about the sanctity of a marriage while busy chatting up women. Typical narcissistic, will use anything they can in order to gain control of you.

I am however utterly shocked at how not only was she told by the marriage counselor not to marry the guy but the guy's own mother told her to run and she still sat there going what do you mean I should run. Parents often cannot see the faults of their own children and if a mother is telling you to run from her own child you would think one would heed that warning. Sometimes people don't have great relationships with their parents however in this case not only did his actions already alarm her but other people apart from the mother told her to not go through with that wedding. Yikes.

I was so frustrated by this lady. At the end of the day she is aware the reason why she ignored so many red flags is because she really just wanted to be in a relationship no matter what cost as long as he did not harm her and she truly was not willing to see anything that would have been a good indicator for her not to marry the guy.

Evil Lives Here: She Knew It Was Goodbye (2023) Season 14, Episode 6

Not right from the get go!

[8/10 · 14 December 2023]

Even from a young age Paige acted like she was possessed. She clearly had major mental health issues from the get go but then again plenty of people have mental health issues but they don't commit matricide.

I empathize with the mother because you bring kids out into this world and you wish to take care of them the best that you can and Paige was clearly not a functioning adult based on the fact that she could not hold a job if she ever even had one in the first place and she had to stay with the mother. I think the mother could not imagine kicking her out her becoming homeless because obviously she couldn't take care of herself but had she stepped back like the father did she probably would be alive. Easier said than done though cause it is so easy for men to abandon even their normal and great children without any qualms than a mother to let go of her child even if she is evil, dangerous and extremely messed up..

Evil Lives Here: I Wanted My Father to Die (2023) Season 14, Episode 7

Leave for your kids !

[7/10 · 14 December 2023]

Obviously Freddie is the bad guy here but it's so sad to hear the daughter recount how her own mother, instead of leaving Freddie was begging the kids to tell their teachers and school counselors about what was happening than actually her taking a stand and leaving that man. The daughter said that the mother never said anything or never left because she was so afraid of Freddie but damn what about your own children who were constantly under threat of being killed. The women always say I was afraid and also financially I could not leave but i think that's what they tell themselves in order to justify not leaving. Cause every time their abuser ends up being the one who leaves 99% of the time he don't even help financially. I do feel that the financial reason is an easy cop out at not leaving when your husband is threatening to kill you and the kids.

The saddest part the mother actually never left Freddy, he himself left because he got kicked out of the church and most likely was already having an affair with the lady he ended up killing later on. The fact that the daughter even debated having the father killed so that she could escape her horrible life is so sad. I wish these women placed the safety of their kids first cause then they would leave. Men like Freddie are truly the devil.

Evil Lives Here: Murder at Sea (2023) Season 14, Episode 4

A bad hand

[9/10 · 7 December 2023]

Talk about being dealt a bad hand. Good god these kids had no chance. Absolutely no chance. Normally I get annoyed by the relatives of the evil person being featured but then poor babies. The trauma of growing up and being told by your own grandmother how your mother was murdered and not being able to trust people because you were betrayed by someone who was meant to protect when you were young and decided to be honest and say something, that trauma must be overwhelming.

The son is the spitting image of his father but he is nothing like his father because he never stopped fighting and doing what's right. Growing up and being shown that it is perfectly okay to murder and that it is perfectly okay to steal, it is a miracle and a wonder that the kids turned out to be the very opposite. I am glad even as decades passed he never gave up on trying to nail his father. Good job and so typical that the father took the cowards way out.

Evil Lives Here: He Had a Torture Chamber (2023) Season 14, Episode 5

Oh Russell why could you not just love me .....

[3/10 · 7 December 2023]

Oh my lord what a frustrating woman. I get the concept of cautionary tales but this ain't it. This is a woman was so in love with a demon that she failed to see any reason. She said i did not leave cause i was financially not able to and yet this man was constantly in and out of prison, so how exactly was her situation financially stable to the point that she needed him and could not leave? He literally stole and pawned her stuff cause he had no money and would go in and out of jail for drugs and stealing and yet yeah she could not leave for financial reasons. Sure love! It felt like she was adding these reasons to bolster a strong argument for why she did not leave but the truth is this woman did not leave cause she wanted to be with that man. She seems more annoyed and angry that this man did not love her as she loved him. Them little bursts of anger and the tears that would not come out lol.

She seems like the type of woman who will do anything for a man which she did. This woman bailed out her husband even after he committed heinous acts. Why was she constantly bailing and picking him up from jail to terrorise her and her kids. Them poor kids. She really should have left earlier if she believed in putting her kids first above her love for the man. It annoyed the hell out of me how she did not protect her kids. This man had her daughter at all times of the night and she still did not leave rather she thought why not have another child.

Her family tried to reason with her but she did not want to hear it. Clearly her self esteem is in the gutter and she thought herself lucky that Russell chose her. Her sobbing with no tears coming out going "I just wanted to be loved, I just wanted someone to love me" let's you know all about this lady.

Her finding God means nothing. Some of them pastors and parishioners be really wolves in sheep's clothing. And she is clearly a judgemental type of Christian given the way she spoke about prostitutes, that Russell taking photos of her in various states of undress make feel dirty, like a prostitute. Prostitutes aren't dirty and are just trying to eke out a living. She could have left it at "him taking photos of me in various states of undress without my permission was dehumanising and made me feel disgusted" rather than made me feel like a prostitute. As if prostitutes deserve to be treated and to feel that way. She annoyed me. The end !

Evil Lives Here: My Brother Let the Evil In (2023) Season 14, Episode 3

Benefit of doubt

[7/10 · 5 December 2023]

I got so annoyed with the sister and I will bet the rest of his family coddled and kept buying his lies as well. He nearly stabbed his wife to death and they still took his word over the wife. She heard about how he would dumb bodies of prostitute in dumpster after having sex with them and even after he had already gone to jail for stabbing his wife, she thought he brother was just joking /making up stories. For real woman? She also discusses the heinous acts he is accused of having committed as "what might have happened" not as a certainty of...... "this is what actually happened"

Also the mother of Rebekah Gay like wow, how could she let that man into her life even with the knowledge of what he did. She knowingly brought a killer into her life who then went on to not only murderer her daughter but committed necrophilia among other disgusting things to her body. Some people should not be parents. All for a man I guess.

Evil Lives Here: We're Glad Mom is Dead (2023) Season 14, Episode 1

A search for a subservient wife goes wrong

[8/10 · 5 December 2023]

Normally I am sad or rather peeved at the actions taken by many of people who are on this show and how they talk about their dealings with the evil person being covered on the show but I was laughing all throughout this episode. Model minority hey ? Hahahaha. This white man sought out a subservient Asian and ended up on his knees, crying like a little baby cause he in fact got an Asian gangster. Then he had the gall to try to replace her with another Asian lady from China.

Yes that woman was clearly insane but how dumb do you have to be to tell your psycho current wife through email that "hey btw I have been cheating on you with another nice subservient Asian woman from china. Also I really would love to take the kids to China and leave you all alone with nothing so that I can start living my dream life as a white king getting pampered by my ideal subservient Asian wife"

Obviously the kids had nothing to do with this and sometimes unhinged women take out their ire on the kids like my mother did and I truly empathise with the children. Luckily for me I blocked out the incidences of my mother trying to kill me however my siblings do remember but like my father who was a philanderer and a cad as well that man ain't as innocent as they are trying to potray him to be. That Asian fever he clearly had makes me side eye him. Those guys are always off and he was a cheater. Did he deserve to die no. To someome who has anger issues that situation is like dynamite. If you are gonna walk away don't try to slight someone who is that unhinged and clearly had a major ego by emailing them your tales of cheating and your plans to dump them. I do wish Sungnam had taken the high road and just gotten that nice divorce settlement, lived her best life and obviously been a better mother to those kids. That white man wasn't worth the fate she ended up receiving but yeah that's on her.

Finally throw the mother and father away. The only victims here are the kids.

We Are Who We Are (2020)

A misunderstood masterpiece!

[10/10 · 31 July 2023]

Surprised that I had never heard of this show until a day ago. I never saw the trailer and I only found it because I was looking up a show that I loved in the past called hit the floor and for some reason this show was recommended on the imdb page of hit the floor . What a masterpiece! A beautiful coming of age story with more depth added from the poignant adult storylines.

Some hated the two characters ending up together but it made a lot of sense to me. They are young and through the course of the show we see them trying to figure out not only their identities but their sexuality which makes their connection stronger and pure. It is not some hormones or a stupid crush were they idolise the idea of the other person. They truly know each other, faults and all and still they choose each other. They don't have to know their precise sexuality to know who is their person and who their drawn to on a deeper level other than surface level attraction. I haven't enjoyed a show this much in such a long time.

I honestly don't understand all the comments saying they don't get the show and that it is extremely confusing. I think people have become to reliant on fast paced stories and shock value to keep them entertained. If you notice there is a correlation between those saying the show was confusing and that it was trying too hard to be like Euphoria but I disagree! I think that they're two very different shows. One of the many reasons why I didn't particularly enjoy Euphoria that much is because it was not relatable at all to me. Everything just felt like it was on steroids . Unrealistic and not in a good way. You don't have to be a member of the lgbtq plus or to be a teenager to relate to this show or get something out of it. For me it was like taking a trip down memory lane. There is this symbiosis between the past and the presence. A past transcends several decades. At times you feel as if you're watching a show from the 60s or 70s or 80s or 90s and 2000s etc because of the different props, cinematography, the physical connection of the characters to each rather than through the interweb.

Evil Lives Here: Sisters in Silence (2023) Season 13, Episode 11

Family secrets.....

[10/10 · 20 June 2023]

Sometimes family secrets are so damaging to the vulnerable people around the vicinity all in an effort to keep up a facade. I definitely think the kids should have been told their brother was away for doing something very bad. Not exactly the details by telling the kids this it would have let them know that he is not a nice person. But then again parents think that their kids can never do wrong and that what happened was just an off chance, a one time heinous thing that is out of character and never to be done again. When he came back they really should have restricted Billy's access to his own siblings or should have monitored the kids more considering the crime he had gone to a mental institution for. Instead of letting him gallivant with his little siblings unchaperoned. He also killed someone and that was a major fault and oversight on the parents but these were different times.

I think some people think it's ridiculous that kids nowadays are being taught about consent from a young age that if someone hugs you and if you don't like that and if you feel uncomfortable it is within your right to say no but I think this is also important because it allows kids to be more open and to have boundaries. It allows kids to be more vocal and talk about what is wrong with someone who they can trust . 90% of the time people are killed or assaulted by the people close to them not strangers. But because this was such a secretive home no one spoke. They seemed more concerned with not bringing shame and notoriety on the family and that ended up causing an irreparable damage on the younger siblings. They might have reunited now but they were so many lost years and there is still tension between them.

I am not sure if I believe Karen saying that she would not have tried to talk the little sister out of going to the police and that she should have been consulted first but what exactly did Susan do wrong? Karen was also not supportive of her. Besides Suzan went in to talk about what was done to her and that has nothing to do with Karen. In fact she did not even know that Karen was abused as well since they were not that close due to Billy's manipulation tactics. Coupled with the fact that every family member seemed to treat Billy with kiddy gloves and were extremely upset everytime he was incarcerated. I don't blame her one bit for going straight to the police to stop his brother cause it doesn't look like his family planned to do anything other than welcoming him back with open arms and reintegrate back into society and to pick up right were he left off as a predator. Sad that Susan died soon after . Billy was such a monster. An emotional roller coaster. Very sad indeed!

Evil Lives Here: He Looks Like the Killer on TV (2023) Season 13, Episode 6

Not much common sense !

[7/10 · 20 June 2023]

This lady was so blinded by her love for Paul or whatever his name was that even after one of her mates rang her to let her know that someone who looks like her husband was on TV and was wanted for murder, she still did not want to believe it cause the man on tv did not look like her husband.

No offence lady but the picture of Paul in the past before he committed his crimes and the picture when he was with her are literally the same person. The face and those strong inverted V shape eyebrows are so unique and they stood out in both photos .

To be honest for a long time this woman was in denial that she was married to a murderer. That man pulled a lot of actions that were major red flags before they even got married. Things that really should not have warranted a second date. From acting cold and distant with her friend who had introduced herself on their date and entering her home without permission, to taking her kids out without permission being prone to violent outbursts.

What I find shocking was this lady had no qualms with investigating this man who was really unhinged all the while still living in that house with her children putting them in jeopardy even after he played scare tactics with her kids by not telling her where her kids were and telling her to wait patiently for them. Even after she finally dobbed him in to the police and was told her to leave for her own safety and also the kids safety she refused to.

Thank god she at least had some morsel of good sense to let the kids stay with the father. It is quite interesting how these women who stay with these murders always like to posit their actions as if they were martyrs sacrificing themselves for the good of everyone when the truth is their self esteem was in a sunken place before they even met their partners and will take anything as long as they are not single and are "loved". No common sense to save themselves let alone those around them who depend on them cause they're so blinded by love.

Evil Lives Here: Fantasizing and Hunting (2023) Season 13, Episode 7

The perfect roommate ....

[8/10 · 20 June 2023]

Normally I get so annoyed by the perspectives of the relatives or the people who grew up and lived with the perpetrators because most of the time the giant red flags were always there waving right in front their faces. Not with this case though. A lot of what Mark did could be misconstrued as PTSD because his actions were unusual but not out of the realm especially with someone who has been in the military during a time when the world was so charged and people lauded these man for joining the military and fighting for their country but not at all thinking about the ramifications of what it was like to come back after having served .

A lot of his actions could have been attributed to him being just a stickler for rules and structure, being environmental and chemical conscious and having OCD and I definitely agree with the brother that if he was studying full time and working nights, he barely was interacting with him on a deeper level. He barely even had the time to notice all the little weird things that Mark was doing cause his life was taxing but also Mark had delineated these boundaries that he was not supposed to cross.

I do think that even though Mark seemed to be a nice kid when they were growing up, he definitely had issues with women and how he viewed them. He might not have always voiced them and he might have said a misogynistic thing here and there like many men do but we never think that these men will go out and start raping women. It's interesting that most of his victims were older women . Probably easier to incapacitate and might have less power to scratch and bite thereby leaving his DNA there. He definitely got off on control more than having a type.

Snoozefest!!

[1/10 · 20 June 2023]

I'm sure growing up with a parent who is mentally ill is a traumatic experience and honestly I would not wish it on my worst enemy. However this episode was a hard slog for me to finish because of their annoying little voices and the way that they just talked. Shame about what happened to the husband because he really just wanted to be just a good husband and a good father but yeah to me this lady sounds a lot like someone who was clearly mentally ill . The constant want to randomly burn the house. Something tells me there's an underlying mental condition there other than being just a domestic abuser and her paranoia is definitely something that needs looking into. Also I really hate when parents blame their kids for being the source of their oppression and not be able to do what they want because they had them st s young age. No one else you to have sex snd be irresponsible, that's on you. I wish the kids well and I hope that ger deranged ass gets kept in there and gets the help she needs . She seems the type to be vindictive if let out.

Dear God ! Rebecca was groomed

[1/10 · 20 June 2023]

It is extremely hard for me to empathise with Genie because she had threesomes with a 15 year old, a 15 yeard old. Let that sink in! Rebecca was a child. Poor Rebecca didn't even realise that she was in such a depraved situation with two people taking advantage of her. What normal 15 year old is having threesomes with her step uncle. What in the hill billy depravity is this. Now I understand that Genie was a battered woman but the thing is the abuse was not sudden it was gradual Lee would not allow her the freedom to dress the way she wanted, bragged about killing people, killing pets, trying to abort their child, punching her in public. She should have walked away earlier.

I am sorry but she really had plenty of chances. What her and her husband did to Rebecca is a crime. They groomed that child but also the amount of trauma that she let her kids go through because she loved that man to death is shocking . The fact that it took the brother of her own husband to say lady please walk away is so mind boggling to me because how much how many more red flags do you need before you walk away. Rebecca's ending is even more tragic. Groomed as a child and then to be murdered. Yikes! I am glad Genie got away but geez lady WTH !!

What a bird!! Chirp chirp....

[5/10 · 20 June 2023]

Don't put this on this happening pre internet so you didn't know better . Your man gets convicted and goes to Jail for rape and you still believe him and still think he is marriage material. Back then these men got a slap on the wrist or walked away because rape not only can be difficult to prove but these women were less likely to be believed so for him to be convicted and to be sent away for that long means that they had a plethora of evidence on him and the crime must have been so heinous and yet she still stayed with him. Why didn't she attend the court hearings to support her man since she believed in his innocence. Maybe she would have learnt a thing or 2 about her sadistic partner.

Seems like she chose not to cause her self esteem was in the gutter. Married in prison? Not leaving after he confessed cause you believe that God forgave him and married is for better and for worse ? Procreating with the predator. Paying all the bills. Blaming the preacher for the reason you stuck around. A whole bird and let's be honest even with the interweb we all know she still would have married him even in this day and age. Talking about how she stayed so that she could watch him and protect other women. Puh -leeze give me a break.

Evil Lives Here: I Made It Out Alive (2023) Season 13, Episode 2

Ummmmm..... yeah I am speechless

[8/10 · 19 June 2023]

I am just so confused and saddened. I know that fear can be so crippling but wow. This girl watched sibling after sibling get killed and was unable to say anything. I was hoping that by the end something would galvanise her to finally get help but unfortunately her fear was so crippling that death seemed so normal. She would have died too if devine intervention had not come through the means of an eviction notice.

To think she did not think/ believe that 1 single relative could help her says a lot about the family, just wow and the other family members did not think it odd that these babies were missing . Where were their fathers ? Bunch of deadbeats I reckon cause how can you go on for years without seeing your kids. What about school teachers ? Did they not think it random that kids were disappearing. Neighbours?? No one seemed to care about these kids. So much failure from everyone. I hope that last baby is doing well and that someone is routinely checking up on him.

Hard to empathise with the mother

[5/10 · 19 June 2023]

First off forget the raving lunatic who wrote the earlier review. What a weirdo. Anywho from the episode the abuse didn't start one day. First it was about control about how the house should look then it was vocal shouting and then it proceeded to physical and then to the sexual assault of the daughter. It is really hard for me to empathise with the mother because she could have walked away earlier but given this was her second husband she probably was the type of woman who felt that she needed a man/ husband, a provider, a man of the house even at the detriment of her own children. Nothing will ever justify her offering her eldest to her husband, nothing.

As a parent she really failed in the worst possible way, better her daughter suffering to keep the peace than her walking away earlier. I know the kids want us to empathise with her but I can't because she walked away a little too late . It is shocking that the boy did more for his sister by staying up so that the father wouldn't call for his sister at night than the mother who took her own daughter to her husband's bed so that her husband could have his way with her like an episode of the handmaid tale. The mother also had the daughter leave the city in order for her to get a job first so that the whole family could join her. In hindsight that ended up being a good thing cuz she survived but again it was so that they could use her as a financial source. She often used her eldest as a crutch and to take some of the blows that no kid should ever have to. Why did it have to be Jessica's burden. I am sure they miss her but I would not put it pass this women that had she gotten a 3rd man she would not have offered her second daughter on the platter to her newest man like she did with the first. How awful.

What happened to free will ??

[4/10 · 19 June 2023]

I thought God gave us all the agency to choose from right and wrong, not this whole devil made me do it schitck. Did someone hold a gun to his head ? Sounds like a total cop out from a parent who is clearly in denial does not want to deal with the fact his son was just a nasty human being. Tyler's father is a giant red flag. He said that there was this one incident when his wife went to a church event and he had to babysit Tyler, "babysit" ? How do you babysit your own child ? It's called parenting though I am not sure how much of it he actually did cause he said that he heard some commotion from Tyler while he was on his computer. He only checked on him and on what was going on cause the commotion was loud and kept going. Father of the year right there.

I can't believe the father also thinks that the letter that Tyler wrote to the girl who dumped him when he a tween was just the son expressing his emotional pain cause he wrote similar things whe he was younger . Well maybe the apple does not fall far from the tree. Because that letter is not normal at all. Those were heinous words and clearly a death threat. Also porn brings demons into your house ? This guy is something else . Some of the shit he said made me think that he was taking piss . Like this is some great big joke cause it sure sounded ridiculous.

The father has too many excuses for his son. He says Tyler told him that he meant to kill the ex because if your wife is having an affair then it should be your prerogative to not only kill the wife but also kill the man she is having an affair with and yet the father says in my opinion I don't think Tyler meant to kill him. Your son literally told you he had every intention to kill someone and you still go no. Tyler exhibited from a young age that he looked at women as chattel, as property evidenced with how he responded when he felt scorned by a woman. His son has not made any connection with God, he is a wolf in sheep's clothing bidding his time.
