In 2016, a spate of brutal Appointment Murders gripped the town of Krugersdorp, leaving salespeople and consultants terrified to book meetings in case they were the serial killer’s next victims. The investigation led detectives to a series of unsolved cold cases, the so-called Satanic Murders, and to links between 11 Krugersdorp killings between 2012 and 2016. They discovered these were the work of the Electus per Deus (Chosen by God) cult.

“The result of an 18-month research process, Devilsdorp shows again that truth is stranger than fiction, especially in South Africa,” says director David Enright. “This is the story of the events that rocked an entire community and forever changed the lives of those involved, especially the families of the victims. What started as a group of devout Christians trying to help a former satanist escape the satanic church ended in a murderous spree involving a killer mom, her two children, and a cult with more victims than members. It may all sound too far-fetched to be believed, except it really happened – just down the road from us.”

Devilsdorp

Outside of the gripping content, Devilsdorp is also a master class in building a narrative in documentaries, coupled with a high production value that might even exceed international standards.

On Spling

Devilsdorp: Homegrown homicide

Devilsdorp is a brisk 4 episodes, absolutely packed end-to-end ... It leaves few stones unturned, but cuts frivolous details out of the equation. It's refreshing to see a series of this nature more focused on giving you the facts than on its own polish.

On the couch: Devilsdorp, the new true-crime series on Showmax

The story is just so utterly bizarre and has so many twists and turns to it I could not stop watching until I had watched all four of the episodes.
