What first interested me in the movie was. Growing up hearing all the urban legends. I personal never believe one of them. And That that some are really real is creepy to me. The movie starts talking about growing up in Stanton island New York you’d remember the urban legend of “monster” Corpsey. The monster would snatch little kids and they would never be seen heard from again if Corpsey gets you. Your parents used the legend to keep children coming home immediately upon illumination of the streetlight. Turns out the basis for this legend is an actual suspected bad guy named Andre Rand who was at the center of the investigations of child disappearances across a couple of decades. Cropsey follows the legend, the disappearances of children and the coming together of the community to find evidence of the guilt of Andre Rand and put him behind bars forever.This documentary is very good from a “60 minutes” point of view, going through the legend and then mapping to historical events that spawned it and the particulars of Andre Rand and his massive manipulation of individuals, groups and an entire community. Cropsey builds up very well through great interviews and research, culminating in direct communication with Rand himself via letters sent from prison. As the communication with Rand continues it gets more and more in-depth, and creepier and creepier, and finally Rand agrees to a direct meeting with the filmmakers. This is the moment that the entire documentary was leading up to, and finally it’s going to happen. The fact this movie seems like a Real life court case. I am going to look and see if it was for real.
Its a very interesting film.
