This review will be even shorter than the one I wrote for Never Sleep Again lol… Basically this to me is just an extension of The American Nightmare, a horror documentary that came out a few years ago dealing with horror in the 60s and 70s, mostly relating their content to the likes of the assassination of JFK and the Vietnam war.
A sizable chunk of this repeats stuff that we’ve heard about many times before now (not just in The American Nightmare either), but I have to admit that once it hits the late 70s and less-chartered territory, it does become a lot (well, a little) more interesting. It must be said it does cover much earlier ground too – though Mark Gatiss’ recent BBC4 series blew all this out of the water. At 90 minutes with such scope you could never really come to this expecting a wealth of depth… but if you’re a horror fan, the clips and talking heads are bound to keep you well appeased.
