Audience Member I have yet to watch the majority of the Glut movies but the documentary itself was very good. Glut's passion and innovations for making his own monster and comic book movies are an inspiration for anyone who was influenced by anything. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member As documentaries go, this is formally fairly static. However, the subject matter is both fascinating and a little baffling. Glut has an amazing sense of personal history and thorough recall of which movie he filmed when and what his direct inspirations were at a given moment; stranger still, he still owns many of the original props and costumes he used as a teenager, matches his old footage with current shots of the same locations, has childhood friends on hand for interviews... I'd almost want to see a documentary about the making of this one, a look at the ongoing records he must keep of his own life and work. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
