Covers a lot of great 80's horror. It's 4+ hours but totally worth watching.

Well done 80's horror doc. This is all review for horror fans, but would be a good primer for new fans. Recommended.

If this **VERY** meh documentary spent more time discussing the actual movies instead of using every opportunity to wax poetic on the **FALSE** narrative about the so-called "oppressive regime" of the Ronald Regan Administration era it might have actually been "good", but... agenda. I mean seriously, WtF? And 4 hours of this crap. I had very high hopes for this studio's next documentary _**In Search of Tomorrow**_ but after trudging through this grease-fire I will not be back for another 4-hour excuse to trash Conservative, Republican Presidential administrations. "..._That'll do little pig... that'll do_..."

"If one horror movie hits, everyone says, 'Let's go make a horror film'. It's the genre that never dies." - George A. Romero I enjoyed this 4 hour documentary about horror in the 80's. Loved some of the talking heads a lot like John Carpenter, Doug Bradley, Keith David, Kane Hodder, Heather Langenkamp. Wish we had seen more of James Rolfe. The format is simple, it goes from year to year, they will talk about a movie for 2-3 minutes and in between the years they talk about final girls, soundtracks etc. It's basic but I thought it was okay. Most of the movies they talked about I had seen, but I did see some posters around some of the movies they talked about that I hadn't seen yet. So they will go on my watchlist! Anyway, if you enjoy horror and you have the time, or like me watch it over a few days. It's a fun watch.

I for sure thought this would be a trash fest after this other guy's comments about it slaying the Gipper. They might talk of the 80-88 admin for a total of 2 minutes. And that was mostly from Alex Winter. Most of the trash talking is about our life in general at the times they were happening. T More
