Good documentary.
I really enjoyed this, found it quite an insightful documentary and recommend it.
A good insightful documentary on why we all crave this great genre.
Covers a lot of what you already know, but in a way that is new and fun to watch. Great interviews with some figureheads of horror, and something I've come back to watch a few times now. Easy, understandable, and beautifully filmed
Relatable, and fucking brilliant. 🤓
