'''The Manson Family''' is a 2003 {{American|Films}} TrueCrime {{horror film|s}} about UsefulNotes/CharlesManson. Unlike the many other films based on the case, this one is told from the point of view of [[VillainProtagonist the Family themselves]].
-----
!!This film contains examples of:
* AGodAmI: While Charlie never outright says he's UsefulNotes/JesusChrist, he loves to strongly imply it.
* BigBad: Charles Manson, manipulative leader of a murderous hippie cult.
* {{Cult}}: One of the many films dramatizing the Manson Family cult.
* DarkMessiah: While the Family initially starts as just another hippie commune, Charlie has a dark charisma about him and manages to convince them to start worshipping him. They eventually claim he can raise the dead and start killing for him.
* DevilComplex: During the Tate murders, Tex says "I am the Devil, and I am here to do the Devil's work."
* DumpsterDive: The Family get their food from various dumpsters.
* HorrorHippies: A dramatization of the Charles Manson case, which codified this trope.
* InsistentTerminology: The Family called breaking and entering "creepy crawling."
* JackTheRipoff: [[spoiler:The film ends with a group of Manson fans killing the host of the in-universe documentary and going on a rampage.]]
* TheLastDJ: {{Subverted}}. Charlie claims that he's a master musician standing against the cold, capitalistic record industry. However, what he sees as corporate drudgery is what others would call professionalism and actually putting out a product.
* {{Mockumentary}}: The film's FramingDevice is an episode of a documentary ShowWithinAShow, where members of the Family themselves are interviewed. Interspersed are various flashbacks to the events described.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Charlie ''despises'' mixed-race marriages, and his final scheme is to start a race war.
* {{Polyamory}}: The Family are constantly having sex with each other, outright claiming that monogamy is an old-fashioned hang-up.
* RightWingMilitiaFanatic: The Family slowly descend into this, moving into a compound in the desert to prepare for a coming race war.
* TeamTitle
* VillainProtagonist: This film follows the Family, a hippie cult trying to start a race war.
