The Manson Family is a 2003 American crime drama film. The film covers the lives of Charles Manson and his "family" of followers. The Manson Family is a cross between fictional story and documentary, overseeing the crimes of The Manson Family as led by Charlie Manson. The fictional story centers on a Crime Scene-esque TV series of the same name and its host, Jack Wilson (Carl Day). Documentary-like footage of the real Manson Family is intercut within the film, albeit all members being portrayed by actors. The film had a long and troubled production history. Director Jim Van Bebber personally financed the production starting in 1988, and then continued to shoot it sporadically on weekends and off days. Despite support from various people, including members of the band Skinny Puppy, who provided a musical score (in the form of Download's Charlie's Family album) that was released separately years before the film itself, the film remained incomplete. It screened on video as a work-in-progress at a number of film festivals during that time. In 2004, Dark Sky Films stepped in with the funds to finish the film properly, and it has since been released theatrically and on home video. Phil LESS
