The Myth of True Crime
In this sense, Cropsey strikes me as the unmasking of the ever-growing true crime industry. I say that as a fan, at least in the abstract. I love horror movies; I am fascinated by the macabre. I understand the whole Rob Zombie impulse. But too often the industry ends up venerating these killers, not overtly like a letter writer to Richard Ramirez, but more broadly, by being fascinated by their bizarreness. The things these (mostly) men do are so strange, so utterly inhuman that they command our attention.
