Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Powerful factual drama based on one of the most shocking crimes of the 20th Century. This is the chilling story of child killers Ian Brady (Sean Harris) and Myra Hindley (Maxine Peak) and how they were finally brought to justice. Convicted of the torture and killing of five youngsters, the Moors Murderers remain two of the most hated figures in Britain. See No Evil reveals the untold story and is based on two years of intensive research and interviews with detectives and the key trial witness. Produced in consultation with the murdered children s relatives. Starring Maxine Peak (Shameless) and Sean Harris (24 Hour Party People).

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Docudrama, June 30, 2008
Don't get the wrong idea about this 2' 20" British production: it's not the pornography of cruelty. It only shows one murder, fleetingly, in silhouette and of a 17-year old, not a child. It only shows that death because that was the only one anyone other than the murderers saw (and because it would be obscene to show the rape and murder of a child). This movie depicts the infamous Brady and Hindley as others saw them, primarily Hindley's sister and brother-in-law, and a police detective. We do not see the killers private lives and actions. It's third-person limited narrative.

This may sound like a limitation, but it's actually an effective way of communicating what these two monsters were like. It's very interesting to see the four young people as a social circle, drinking and smoking cigarettes out on the moors (on the gravesites, unbeknownst to two of them), talking about family and job prospects, cooing over the baby, etc. The first chapter is mostly about how Brady tries to lure Hindley's brother-in-law David Smith into his little circle of evil. Brady kills someone in front of Smith, thinking Smith will join in the fun. Smith cooperates in the clean-up enough to get out of the flat alive and turns Brady and Hindley in. The second chapter is about the investigation, trial and aftermath, as Brady and Hindley try to implicate Smith and Smith's community blames him for the deaths of the children.

Overall, it's a fascinating look at a time (1960s) and a place (impoverished Northern England), all seemingly well-recreated. The social dynamics are fascinating. Watching Brady with his fascination for Sade makes you realized that all those academics who flirt with Sade are kind of perverted. A very interesting movie for grown-ups, not a sick flick for adolescents.

2.0 out of 5 stars A FAIR DOCU-DRAMA, September 23, 2008
This movie only skirts around the infamous Moors murders of 1963-1965. It develops little insight into Ian Brady or Myra Hinley and does not address the abductions, torture, rapes and killings of the children and adolescents except in brief dialogue. Instead the movie dwells on the social lives of the participants and tells more than I want to know about Myra's sister and brother-in-law. At least the movie captures the triviality of Brady and Hindley's daily lives, though this makes even more incomprehensible their child killing "hobby".
The five victims are virtually absent from the movie- mere names.
The movie doesn't even show the arrest of Brady, a fascinating incident,
though the police investigation and the incompetence of the Manchester police are well done features.
The best feature of the movie are the two lead actors. Sean Harris as Ian Brady and even more so Maxine Peake as Myra Hindley are superb. Peake is a good antidote to the deceitful portrayal of Hindley by Samantha Morton in "Longford".
Read Emlyn Williams' book "Beyond Belief" {1967} if you want to better understand what really happened.
