(2014)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e*** (out of 4)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eEntertaining but flawed documentary has Tal Zimerman asking fans, critics and filmmakers why they are attracted to the horror genre. The likes of George Romero, John Carpenter, Alexandre Aja, Chris Alexander, Don Coscarelli, Barbara Crampton, Elvis Mitchell, Jen and Sylvia Soska and Eli Roth are among the people interviewed. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf youu0026#39;re a fan of horror movies then youu0026#39;ll certainly enjoy the stories that are told here.

Iu0026#39;d also argue that some of the topics covered arenu0026#39;t the most interesting but that doesnu0026#39;t take away from the fact that thereu0026#39;s some good stuff here. The subject of men versus women when it comes to watching horror was fascinating as was the entire idea of u0026quot;the final girl.u0026quot;”
