"Netflix have just dropped a brand new true crime documentary and one of the most disturbing murder cases in British history. You need to check it out tonight." Just released this
month, the documentary titled Fred and Rose West A British Horror Story delves into the nightmarish deeds of the Wests from their unassuming home in Gloucester during the '80s and
'90s. A statement from Tudum By Netflix gives a spine-chilling synopsis of the case: "In 1994 in Gloucester, England, police visited 25 Cromwell Street, acting on a tip from social
services regarding a horrifying rumour they were told by the children of the couple who lived there, Fred and Rose West." Continuing the grim recount, it adds: "If they
misbehaved, the children said, they'd end up under the patio like their sister, Heather, who had not been seen since 1986." The police's horrific discoveries didn't end
with Heather. They unearthed the remains of nine bodies buried throughout the property's garden and cellar. Thus began the unraveling of one of the most brutal series of murders to
shake modern Britain. READ MORE: 'My colleague gave her twins matching names, I laughed so hard I was sent to HR' The documentary "Fred and Rose West: A British Horror Story
tells how a couple who were, to those who observed them, in a loving, committed relationship could be capable of such gruesome crimes." has been stirring up quite the reaction with its
harrowing portrayal of a seemingly loving couple's descent into committing some of the most gruesome crimes known to Britain. The three-part series, which utilises over 50 hours of
previously unseen and unheard police interview tapes from 107 interrogations, promises to cast new light on the murders of at least 12 women by Fred and Rose West. Delving into the twisted
personalities and lifestyle of Fred and Rose West, the docuseries also explores their current whereabouts and activities. TikTok users have been eagerly anticipating the release, with one

watched it and read the book years ago, hard to get through." Another recalled the horror of the events as they unfolded: "Remember all this happening it was awful what they both
did." Article continues below However, not all reviews are glowing; an IMDb critique points out the series' shortcomings: "While the series may serve as an introduction for
those unfamiliar with the case, it misses the opportunity to provide a deeper, more insightful examination of the Wests' crimes and their lasting impact." The reviewer lamented the
focus on sensationalism, suggesting that a chance was missed to delve into the complexities and offer a more profound narrative: "By focusing primarily on the sensational aspects, the
documentary overlooks the complexities and nuances that could have offered a more meaningful narrative. "In conclusion, Fred and Rose West: A British Horror Story presents a chilling
tale but ultimately lacks the depth and detail necessary to fully comprehend the horror and implications of the Wests' actions."
