My all time favorite documentary ever
28 November 2013
Warning: Spoilers
This begins is quite possibly the best documentary ever. It goes through the silent era all the way into the modern era and it highlights all the films that changed the genre. From beginning with the monster being Soldiers from WWI who lost limbs,to Lon Chaney, to the iconic Universal monsters. This highlights the films to the Giant monster era (1950's) to the beginning of the slasher genre. Really interesting, only if they went more behind the classics of how they made them, the behind the scenes. There is also several nice directors who know the genre best, the entire ensemble includes: Wes Craven, John Carpenter, Rob Zombie because he know horror, George A. Romero, and Guillermo Del Torro, along others. It really talks about why the horror genre is the biggest and the most important in the film industry. Its all interesting until the late 1980's (1987-1989 :( boring years) and after. This is still one of my favorite documentaries ever.
