Reception
Dread Central gave 'House of Manson' a favorable review, writing that it was "informative, violent, shocking, and saddening Slagle should be applauded for taking on a subject thats been beaten to death and giving it a totally new perspective from the audiences point of view." Shock Till You Drop also gave a positive review, citing its acting and praising it for being "one of the few true-crime biopic indie films to roll out in a long time that doesnt feel like simply an excuse to make a film, cashing in on the name". 'Starburst' was mildly more mixed, stating that it "won't offer any new insights or conclusions but it does present a different slant on a character whose infamy shows no sign of abating. Slagle's film is of interest though, built on excellent performances and subtle, almost documentary-like direction that draws the viewer in."
