_Cropsey_ is great documentary in the mold of _Paradise Lost_, _The Keepers_ or _The Jinx_. What stands out about _Cropsey_ are the clear voices of the directors (Zeman and Brancaccio), both of which grew up close to where the murders happened. They bring a personal feel to the film which is not present in so many true crime documentaries. Another key to this documentary is the way that it weaves legend (i.e. Cropsey) and reality to the point that the viewer is left questioning what we know and what we don't know. A truly powerful documentary that is well worth watching, especially if you are into true crime documentaries.

**Very well done. Also, even in short segments, the truly ghastly conditions and treatment of those who endured the Willowbrook State School was difficult to observe.**

The Facts or the Folklore?

What is a Cropsey? A Cropsey is the name given to a bogeyman used to frighten children by way of safe education (stay away from that place/that man/them woods etc). When Joshua Zeman and Barbara Brancaccio grew up they learnt that their Cropsey was in fact real. Or was More
