An American Nightmare
This is for the real film nerds out there. A documentary from IFC, AN AMERICAN NIGHTMARE is a brilliantly inciteful look at the landmark independant horror films from the late sixties to the eighties.
Romero, Hooper, Cronenberg and others are studied and placed in historical context. Sociologists, psychologists, film critics and filmmakers discuss the attractionm of the horror film in general and why these landmark films are so impactful.
With a soundtrack by Godspeed You Black Emperor and horrific newsreel footage thrown into the mix, this one is a compelling watch and a must for aspiring horro filmmakers.
