The raw emotions of the investigators, victims, Amy Loughren, and others are what make you realise that this is something that did in fact happen and is not something that can be easily forgotten. What Charles Cullen did, and the face which held no remorse at the end brings a kind of pain that will hit you in a way that is different from the film- The Good Nurse.
The documentary will bring you the chills once again as you see the footage of Charles Cullen himself, while the interview with Amy Loughren brings you a kind of emotion that cannot be ignored. It wasn’t easy for her then and it is not easy for her now, but one thing that she does know is that what she did is right.
The suspense and thrill brought out by this documentary will not fail you as you are spooked time and time again by the incidents that took place back then. You can clearly feel the desperation of those who want to protect lives while the evil minds of society fight for their hidden profits and a reputation that they see as more important.
However, what brings up the intensity of the documentary are the words spoken by Charles Cullen as he fights against himself while continuing his evil deeds.
