Thriller. Horror The film takes a look at the last days leading up to Tate’s murder from her point of view. The plot is inspired by an actual quote from Tate, from an interview published a year before her death, wherein she reveals having dreams about ghosts haunting her house and foreseeing her own death at the hands of a satanic cult.

	Media	Author	Review
		Owen Gleiberman Variety	"[It] has the insensitivity (or is it just ineptitude?) to turn the Manson murders into schlock horror (...) It doesn’t bring you closer to the events; if anything, it seals you outside of them."
		David Ehrlich IndieWire	"It’s crude, it’s opportunistic, and it uses the victims of a notorious slaughter as props in a half-assed trip"
		Wes Greene Slant	"Distractingly shot and incoherent (...) Farrands’s overwrought approach ensures that the film doesn’t even succeed as a genre exercise (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"
		William Bibbiani The Wrap	"It's far too early to call this the worst movie of the year. But if it's not, it's going to be a rough 2019."
		Noel Murray Los Angeles Times	"[It] turns the Manson cult’s crimes into fodder for a sleazy B-thriller."
		Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"The film actually doesn't go anywhere that we haven't seen a thousand times before (...) Duff works hard but is never fully convincing"
