Netflix viewers have been left 'catching their breath' after streaming a harrowing true crime documentary that recently dropped on the platform. True crime enthusiast Dani, known as @crimedocdani across social media, posted an update about the film on her TikTok account. She branded it a 'horrifically tragic' documentary while issuing a stark warning to viewers before revealing its subject matter.
Released earlier this month, All The Empty Rooms chronicles a journalist and photographer's mission to document the bedrooms abandoned by youngsters murdered in school shootings. The film follows Steve Hartman and photographer Lou Bopp as they journey across the US, memorialising the bedrooms of children lost to school shootings.
Responding to Dani's clip, one viewer commented: 'Scared to watch it! I'm still not over The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez - still makes me teary eyed when I think about it.' Another person shared: 'My son's room is exactly the same as when he died suddenly from a fall 8 1/2 years ago at age 21 while away at college.'
A third viewer remarked: 'I live in Australia and I just can't imagine how you become numb to this!' Another commented: 'Every gun owner should be made to watch this before getting a gun. I'm sobbing.' On IMDb, one watcher wrote: 'I didn't want to watch this because I knew it would be heartbreaking but that's the whole point... This should be compulsory viewing in the White House no matter who's sitting in it.'
The 34-minute short, suitable for viewers aged 12 and above, was directed and produced by Joshua Seftel. On IMDb, the documentary has been rated 7.6 out of 10.
