Wonderland 2003. about the john holmes murders sure had a ton of blood in it.. I read tons of stories about the real murders that went down in 1981, and on the dvd/bluray they show the actual crime scene video.. that was nasty.. Anyone else see this?

I did, great movie.
The crime scene video was not that disturbing to me as I've seen tons of this shit up close and personal, including a native kid getting half his face blown off with a shotgun. I did not see the actual shooting, but the end result in ICU was pretty nasty.

i saw this back when it came out, and remember enjoying it, but not much else. except for val kilmer jumping in the door at the beginning and shouting "I'm Johnny Holmes!" or something like that

Meh. Boogie Nights is a tough act to follow.

anthro, after seeing real stuff, i cant imagone any horror film or gore or violence on tv can be shocking. I seen alot of stuff on the net, sites like rotten .com and all, and yes, its really nasty and disturbing how people can look after stuff happens. Once. i seen this photo of a guy who blew his entire head off with a shotgun, there was like no head. man that was nasty. I could never clean that stuff up..

Wonderland wasn't about the porn business like boogie nights was. It was soley about the murders and the 2 week period that was centered around them. Alot of people were confused on that , just like Halloween 3 wasnt about M. myers anymore. I know wonderland had that stigma, but i followed the case for years before the movie was made, and it was very well done as far as staying true to the real story right down to having the exact names and all.. Even used the same house for exterior shots.. But sadly, wonderland got a very limited release in theaters, i had to go downtown philly to see it on the big screen..
