Why Horror? (2014)
2/10
Horrible documentary
11 September 2016
This "documentary" is more like a home movie with the documentary maker talking to his younger brother, talking to his mother, talking to the whole family at dinner, talking to himself, and talking, talking, talking. We see him dressed as a zombie, getting dressed as a zombie, getting undressed as a zombie ad infinitum. As a horror movie it's pretty good, and could be shown at the man's wedding or funeral. But as a documentary about horror it's pretty horrible. Yes, there are a few good interviews (e.g., John Carpenter) but in large part he misses the essence of horror and its attraction. It's a good topic but deserved a better film.
