Much as I admire the filmmakers' attempts to investigate the Cropsey story, they purposefully perpetuate and deepen other myths while they do it. They construct a series of concentric ideas with "the Willowbrook insane asylum" as a central point. The problem with this is that Willowbrook was never an insane asylum, and many of the investigations they link to "the old Willowbrook site" were actually in other locations and are central arguments in the conflations they make between Willowbrook, other institutions in the area, and the concept of institutions for the mentally handicapped, mentally ill and criminally insane in general. It's fair enough to use other sites as visual stand-ins for buildings that are no longer standing, but in a "documentary" one should be more careful about identifications.
