'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

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."
