The Manson Family

A true grindhouse maverick who hates happy endings, Jim VanBebber has made a name for himself in the world of low-budget, independent exploitation cinema as a writer/director and sometimes actor.

Severin Films' theatrical rollout of Jim VanBebber’s award-winning The Manson Family begins this weekend, and we have all the details, including a special treat for audiences in San Francisco and Denver.

If you've never witnessed the sheer unbridled lunacy of Jim VanBebber's The Manson Family, then do yourself a favor - correct that cinema sin NOW. Or even better wait just a bit longer and see the flick like never before on the big screen and in 1080p!

We've heard from a couple of reliable sources that last week's rumored collaboration between Oliver Stone and Vincent Bugliosi for a big-screen reboot of Helter Skelter was just that -- a rumor. But apparently Bugliosi's involvement with Charlie Manson is far from over as he IS attached to the upcoming Taming the Beast as an Executive Creative Consultant.

Oliver Stone hasn’t been on much of a winning streak lately, but today brings us rumblings of a project that might just suit the director’s frenzied style.
