“House Of Manson” (**1/2 out of four) was a sporadically affecting biographical thriller about Charles Manson (Ryan KIser) and his descent into drugs and madness and how this led to the murder of actress Sharon Tate and executive Leno LaBianca. Kiser is absolutely riveting in the lead role but the story has its ups-and-downs; it’s alternately fascinating, tedious, unpleasant and sometimes all three at once. Definitely a mixed bag and not for all tastes but definitely of interest to Manson fanatics and fans of true crime.
