Just Melvin, Just Evil is the most disturbing documentary you will ever see. It’s a hard-to-find documentary about the tormented family of Melvin Just, a man so wicked it’s almost unbelievable.
In it, they describe their decades-long experience of abuse, even admitting to knowing about the murders he committed to keep their crimes a secret.
Just Melvin, Just Evil explores four generations of sexual abuse, substance abuse, terrible secrets, neglect and violence. In a large American family ravaged by alcohol and repressed trauma, only one family member seems to “survive.”
That man was James Ronald Whitney, and he bravely used this documentary as a conduit to explore his family history and seek answers to the horrors he and his loved ones endured ( and end).
Warning: Contains scenes that some viewers may find disturbing.
