Melissa L @Agent99 Nov 15, 2025 Great history of the rise of U.S. horror movies...the psychological and societal reasons for the history of the film genre's evolution. See more Apr 27, 2021 The perfect movie for those who enjoy horror genre and would like a taste of the American history of horror. Each decade is covered based on common themes in an effective and quick dive. See more Jul 9, 2019 Even if you aren't a horror buff there's a chance you'll enjoy this but true horror buffs "myself included" are it's target audience. This has to be one of the best horror documentaries ever. A lot of the information you get from this is known. However it seems cooler hearing it from the directors who made some of the movies. George Romero seemed like a awesome guy judging from his footage. John Carpenter always brings his knowledge. Cool to see John Landis and Joe Dante as well. All in all this is a very well made documentary. See more Aug 9, 2017 This is a solid, focused and shockingly comprehensive look at American horror films. Fans of horror will dig it, of course; however, film history buffs will as well as it dives into world events, and how that affected and was affected by horror films of all kinds. See more Feb 6, 2016 A very interesting and somewhat disturbing view of the evolution of horror movies, what is stands for, and why people continue to like them. See more Aug 31, 2015 This was very interesting and a good crash course in the genre. See more Read all reviews
