Combustible Celluloid - 9/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonA fun and smart documentary for horror fans, filled with dozens of great clips.
User Review - 10/10 by Carlos MThis was very interesting and a good crash course in the genre.
User Review - 10/10 by Jun Woo PA very interesting and somewhat disturbing view of the evolution of horror movies, what is stands for, and why people continue to like them.
User Review - 10/10 by claire fi loved this as a kid and i still love it to this day
User Review - 10/10 by Julien GExcellent documentaire sur l'origine des films d'horreur americains explique par John Carpenter, Joe Dante, Stuart Gordon et bien d'autres. Rien que ça.
User Review - 10/10 by Steven LOne of the best horror documentaries I've seen in a while. Instead of just highlighting the landmark films in the genre's rich tradition, this film dives deep into the sociopolitical subtext that many of these films invoke (whether consciously or subconsciously). One of the central theories of film criticism is that films are inextricably linked to the societies in which they are produced -- and that idea is the foundation of this documentary. On a side note, FINALLY someone gives Roger Corman adequate screen time in a horror documentary (rightfully so, because there wouldn't be modern horror without him).
User Review - 10/10 by Melvin WAn insightful and strangely compelling documentary
User Review - 10/10 by Alex rThis is an awesome documentary on the appeal of horror film and the audience's obsession of being scared. Featuring in depth interviews from genre directors and film historians. What this film does very well is give horror fans the complete evolution of the genre, from its early beginnings to today. The film is a must see for genre fans, the interviews are well done, and you can clearly see how the genre became what it is today. As a fan of the genre, I highly recommend this film. The changing times definitely reflected the tone of the movies and inspired most of the genre films. The film reveals everything that makes the genre appealing to audiences. The film also takes a look at how horror films stayed relevant as audiences changed. This is a great documentary about an underrated genre of film. Fans will love this one, but traditional viewers wanting to know more about why the horror genre has the appeal that it has. A thing that really stands out is how different types of horror films have made their mark to help form the genre for what it is. This is a film that is for fans, and anyone looking for a definitive portrait of the horror genre. Brilliantly executed and revealing in terms of material, Nightmares in Red, White And Blue is a riveting and highly engaging documentary that is a terrific expose on exploring our deepest fears through horror films. This is the definitive work on one of the most enduring film genres. If you're a fan of the genre, then don't pass this film up, this is a highly entertaining ride from start to finish and like I've said features great interviews with those involved in the genre. This is a real treat for fans.
User Review - 10/10 by Alyssa NThis is a fascinating documentary about how American horror movies can be viewed as a reflection of the cultural and political climate of the time. It's such an obviously true concept when you think about it, and I can't believe this movie wasn't made sooner. This was also a rather ambitious film considering it covers so many decades in such a short time span, but it's surprisingly comprehensive and covers all the major films while still making time for some secondary ones. The movie clips and interviews with horror film veterans are utilized perfectly here, sometimes to humorous effect, making the final product as entertaining as it is informative and recommended for any horror fan.
User Review - 10/10 by Matt RBest horror documentary I've ever seen about horror through the decades. I highly recommend this to any fan of horror.
