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.

I've seen this documentary, I really liked it. :D
IFC is a sweet "pay" channel. ;)

This was a special feature on the DVD for 'The Toolbox Murders'. An average slasher flick (I only bought it because it was directed by Tobe Hooper), but worth buying just for that. It's fantastic.
