DVD Reviews of Fantastic Flesh
DVD Review: The Flesh Is Informative
Summary: 4 Stars
Fantastic Flesh is a cool documentary made by the Starz team, helmed by comic book legend & B-movie director Kevin VanHook, which delves into the field of special effects and the men who've shaped the art form as well as the course of cinematic history. The film includes in-depth interviews with some of the biggest names in genre filmmaking and FX work including the late Dick Smith. We're given some amazing insights into the FX process behind many films and we hear, from the directors themselves, how important the FX industry has been to film.
If I could say anything at all negative about the documentary it would be that I didn't feel it touched on enough of the history of special effects makeup for cinema. It would have been interesting to hear a bit more about the history of FX makeup, reaching back further than Chaney's work or the groundbreaking FX used in Frankenstein. I'd say an additional 20 minutes of information could have easily been added to this and it still would have been too short for me, it's that good! Outside of my petty gripe, this is a fantastic documentary, one that no horror enthusiast should miss. Fantastic Flesh is a must-see, and if you're a documentary junky like me, a must-have release.
