Paradise Lost 2 / Revelations / USA / 2000

Far less objective than Paradise Lost, Revelations documents the six years following the “West Memphis Three’s” conviction. Whereas the first film is comparably steadfast in its objectivity, this sequel is propagandistic in its effort to exploit the lapses in procedural practice and logic that characterized the West Memphis Three’s trial. It is a satisfactorily entertaining film for those fond of its predecessor, but its acutely noble intentions may be overlooked by its omissions, both factually (there is little mention of the Three’s previous criminal records) and logically (why is that Damien Echols is featured at length but not his compatriots?).
