DVD Reviews of The Fearmakers CollectionDVD Review: Horror savvy need not apply Summary: 3 Stars
All of these talented filmmakers are more than deserving of having a documentary / featurette dedicated to them. Each doco has a run time of approximately 25mins. This collection from the early 90's obviously was a labour of love, but unfortunately it's a low budget affair. From xeroxed grainy production stills to dark scratchy trailers (that we've all seen a milllion times before - some of them are shown to their full entirety, which only seems to pad out the already short duration which is deserving of more.) This collection is an okay starting point for the uninitiated...and that's about it. To those already savvy to the films and filmmakers that are looking for more - you'll be disappointed and bored. The only exception was the Roland West episode, a filmmaker that hasn't been in the spotlight as much as the others featured here. Details like behind the scenes stories on some of the classic films and ancedotes from the actors and production crews would have made these doco's a lot more interesting. For those wanting to learn a basic knowledge on some of the great independent auteurs, then this collection offers that - but no more.
