A simple, easy to swallow history of horror. Tex said it best – if you’re a horror aficionado, its not going to teach you anything new, really, but if nothing else there’s a fantastic list of credited films at the end (in the credits) to check your horror library against. I like sitting back and listening to Carpenter and Romero talk about their inspirations and reflections on the times when they were making good films (which happen to be some of my favorite of all time). It all sort of put it perspective for me how overrated Eli Roth is, in general, and how horror is SO LOOKING for its next niche and scare. Everything has been SO overdone as of late, its like horror has reached this point of saturation and over indulgence that you cant go much further “over the top” in the direction its going without snuff, and fuck that. I think horror needs to reflect things more apparent in our daily lives, like the threat of rampant disease and apocalyptic plague, nuclear war, gene splicing, playing God – things that are in touch with the fears we have in our guts every day. Raise it to a 9 if you’re relatively unschooled in the genre, and need a good solid 90 minute history wrap from NOSFERATU to 2006…
I thought this was a cool picture. It’s a documentary which shows how each generation of horror movies reflect their era, from depression times to the war on terror. Includes interviews with George Romero, John Carpenter, Joe Dante, and more.
