Ratings and reviews

This is a great documentary. Although I do feel that parts of this film lacked necessary detail that I think began to climax from it's vagueness to satisfy my still curious mind. Has Terry Hobbs been charged with anything at all or is he off the hook as well?

I wasn't aware of this case growing up until I watched devils knot. I had to tell my mom about this movie because it made me sick. She then told me it was real. I wasn't sure if I believed the wm3 were innocent until I watched this movie. The things these 3 went through is horrible..and bless those little boys and their families. My prayers are with them.

It's sad because even though the west Memphis three are still alive, their childhood and prime years of their lives were taken as well. I couldn't imagine being a young teen and being innocent and charged for crimes I didn't commit. The state was more worried about how they looked and haven't even looked for any other suspects or followed up on leads. They just didn't like Damien for how he was back then and seemed like they wanted it to be him.
