I have just started reading Columbine by Dave Cullen. For the uninitiated, Columbine was the first ever incidence of high school shooting in the US. As its companion piece, this is a found footage type, fictional account of the two shooters and their preparations, in the days leading up to their assault on their school.
It is not meant for the faint hearted. It is deeply disturbing because you get to see the mundane nature of evil. There are no devils sprouting horns but two normal looking teenagers, casually discussing how to build bombs, wreck war and cause maximum casualties.
The raw nature of the found footage genre makes this even more shocking than a well edited and crisply shot depiction of the same incident in _Elephant(2003)_.
Must watch. Disturbing and riveting.
