Summary

In 2015, NYC Police Officer Gilberto Valle was convicted of conspiring to kidnap and eat young women. YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT: KIDNAP AND EAT. Valle argued it was all a fantasy; the prosecution's narrative convinced jurors otherwise. Valle was facing a possible life sentence when filmmaker Erin Lee Carr began visiting him in prison to make this film.

There’s no way around it, you guys, this one is full of garbage—the cannibal cop himself (CANNIBAL COP, YOU GUYS), his enabling parents, and the filmmaker who never really tries to understand WHY and/or HOW Valle came to be the way he is. But don’t worry, there’s lots of good New York Post headlines….and one fabulous glamor shot.

1:38.5	true crime. I read Helter's Skelter way too young, squeaky was like under my bed and
1:42.8	in my closet. And so what this is, it's actual lost video footage after the Taitla Bianca
1:50.0	murders. Yes. Before they were arrested. You guys, it's from the 70s. It's like these filmmakers
