"Taking inspiration from the bogeyman folklore they were told and shared as children, this documentary follows two filmmakers delving into the disturbing case of Andre Rand, a man charged with kidnapping of children and blamed for several disappearances, although never fully charged with murder.
The documentary attempts to trace the origin of Rand and his history in working in mental health facilities, along with how he used to live in makeshift camps in the woods and the stories that followed during the uproar of his trial.
Numerous people involved in trying to find the missing children, ranging from police, detectives and the general public, talk from the probable to the outrageous - here are tales of homeless networks he worked with to pass children around for satanic rituals, to stories he believed the mentally ill shouldn't be alive and he was doing them a favour; some even think he was innocent, and that the real killer is still out there after framing him.
It's sinister stuff and plays like a true horror story, perhaps the most horrific aspect being that this is grim reality. Powerfully sinister watching"
