Actors :Donna Cutugno,Karen Schweiger,David Novarro,Ralph Aquino
Staten Island filmmakers Joshua Zeman and Barbara Brancaccio reveal how an urban legend conjured up to keep kids from exploring abandoned buildings became a horrifying reality when a mysterious drifter began abducting children in their tight-knit urban neighborhood. Growing up, Zeman and Brancaccio were deluged with terrifying tales of Cropsy, a murderous mental patient prone to snatching children off the streets and taking them to the derelict buildings that were once part of the Willowbrook Mental Institution. Some claimed Crospey had a hook for a hand; others claimed his weapon of choice was a large axe. In 1987, that legend crossed the boundary into reality when 13-year-old Jennifer Schweiger vanished without a trace. Her disappearance sent shockwaves of fear through the community, but it was only the first. Before long Crospey had a name: Andre Rand. When a photo of a handcuffed Rand was released in the press, the public didn't need a conviction to know he was the man who had been preying on their children. In this film, Zeman and Brancaccio go back to the scene of the crimes to search for clues, and speak with the locals about how the case has haunted them for decades. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Some New Trailer For Cropsey
New Review For Movie Cropsey
A documentary that delves into what happens when the ghost stories you told as kids, the stuff of urban legends, seem to come true.Bill Goodykoontz-Arizona Republic
The story of the unsolved abductions and the man who might have become the scapegoat for a community is troubling enough. No big-screen trickery is required.
Mark Olsen-Los Angeles Times
Cropsey has all the trappings of a true-crime TV special, but with an undercurrent of cultural exposition that is intelligent, profound and unsettling.
John Anderson-Variety
Modern horror films rarely capture that pit-of-the-stomach feeling the way this movie does.
Wesley Morris-Boston Globe
Perhaps most chilling is that the movie leaves the mysteries unresolved.
Steve Dollar-Wall Street Journal
The core of the story is standard TV fare (and the techniques aren't exactly original), but the filmmakers tell it with wit, verve, and compassion.
Richard Brody-New Yorker
A crude episode of 48 Hours.
Nick Schager-House Next Door
As a clever combination between truth and fiction, it's a rather impressive little film. Creepy too.
Scott Weinberg-FEARnet
Films like The Blair Witch Project use a fake documentary format to try and create a horror film about an urban myth that turns out to be real. Cropsey, though, is the real deal.
Beth Accomando-KPBS.org
As disturbing as the expertly paced Cropsey is, it's not some schlocky spookfest. It's a well-produced and well-researched bit of investigative journalism.
Mike Scott-Times-Picayune
Brancaccio and Zeman don't offer any easy answers, merely throwing all of the many issues of the story of Cropsey into a melting pot of danger, terror, and secrecy.
Brian Tallerico-Movie Retriever
The best, scariest mysteries don't have definitive answers, and Cropsey becomes a Zodiac-style whodunit of the spookiest order.
Matt Pais-Metromix.com
The conceptual, even poetic inquiry that percolates in the opening scenes gives way to flat-footed and unresolvable detective work that makes the filmmakers too important.
Nick Davis-Nick's Flick Picks
... the stuff of horror films, and the way it folds back into the idea of how the Cropsey stories spread... that's the stuff that Cropsey does best.
Drew McWeeny-HitFix
A real-life nightmare, Cropsey shakes you as well as inspires you to pursue the terrifying truth.
Zak Jason-Boston Phoenix
Documentary of a spate of child kidnappings/killings in Staten Island, New York, in the 1970s, tied thematically to the titular Hudson Valley boogeyman myth.
Frank Lovece-Film Journal International
"Cropsey" bridges an essential chapter of American history with a nightmare legend that is still referred to in hushed tones.
