the perfect documentary
25 November 2009
I have the book with the same title and that was marvelous, everything was included, great, and then there was this DVD. What a great documentary. If you hate to read a book watch this DVD. It starts with Peeping Tom and Psycho, up to Halloween and Friday The 13th, the differences between the two movies, told by directors, Fangoria editor and so on. as in the book they aren't afraid to tell about the decline of the slashers and the rise of the second era starting with Scream, again they show the differences between old school and the new slashers. There are a lot stills and fragments shown from those flicks. Okay, I know , some people complain about the fact that Blood Feast and Texas Chainsaw Massacre aren't included. But nothing is perfect. But if you ever want to tell someone about slashers then this DVD is a great companion. And as extra's they included a quiz, great fun. Oh yeah, I got my version in the Last House On The Left Ultimate 3 Disc edition, you know, the white box with red letters. And it clocks in at 90 minutes, not as said here on IMDb.
