This was a documentary that I heard about a while ago. I believe it was on the Blu-ray of Creepshow and those that watched it said it was well done. I decided to give this a go while at work in the office as I love source and learning a bit more about it was something that intrigued me.
So, I will echo what I've heard. This is well done. It was made back in 2007, which was crazy since I would have been in college at the time. This explores the beginnings of how Creepshow came to be, interviewing people behind the scenes and the talent that they got on screen. We get interviews with the likes of Tom Atkins, Adrienne Barbeau, Ed Harris, John Harrison and the G. O. A. T himself, George A. Romero, R. I. P. Hearing the different things that they had to go through to get this made and doing it on a lower budget is amazing. It doesn't feel that way.
In true fashion of the movie itself, this documentary is told in sections. The first part is about, like I said, how they put this together and its inception. Then I believe from there they go into the talent they assembled, then to the locations and how they were selected. Tom Savini gets almost a section to himself as he goes over the effects and how they were done. This is a great documentary that is put together well and edited in footage from the movie. It is fun to see what the final product looked like and then see behind the scenes of setting it up.
I highly recommend this to fans of the original movie. There is so much information here that you get much more appreciation here. I'd even recommend seeing this to the non-diehard fans as well, especially if you are into the filmmaking process.
My Rating: 8 out of 10.
