HERBERT MULLIN: MY MURDERS STOPPED EARTHQUAKES

Cinemavixion Review

This documentary delves into the disturbing case of Herbert Mullin, a man whose actions were tragically shaped by severe mental illness. In the early 1970s, Mullin, diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, committed a series of murders in California. His chilling rationale, that these acts were sacrifices to prevent devastating earthquakes, paints a stark picture of delusion intertwined with horrifying reality. The film explores the societal and psychological factors that may have contributed to this dark chapter, prompting reflection on the complexities of mental health and the justice system's response to individuals in such extreme distress. It serves as a somber reminder of the devastating consequences when mental illness goes unaddressed.
