Primal Screen
Directed by Rodney Ascher
Why are we simultaneously attracted to and repelled by the things that scare us the most? In this special presentation, acclaimed filmmaker Rodney Ascher (ROOM 237, THE NIGHTMARE) explores the pop culture that left dark impressions on us as children. Starting from the immortal ventriloquist dummy of MAGIC, Ascher asks real people to look back at pop-culture artifacts that traumatized them in their youth and describe the effect they had on their lives. A singular hybrid of documentary and horror, stare into the Primal Screen.
In this Shudder Original, acclaimed filmmaker Rodney Ascher explores the pop culture that left dark impressions on us as children.

I was reading the info on thos film and saw this guy made ROOM 237. Not gonna watch this one because ROOM 237 was garbage garbage garbage garbage trash trash trash trash
would be a cool series; kinda weak as a standalone
I think Jaws screwed me up. I don’t like ocean water. Don’t like flying over it, boating on it, swimming in it. Just scares the crap outta me!
More please
Don’t care for the story ideas.
