The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Document of the Dead (1985)

Director: Roy Frumkes

Premise:
A look at George Romero's career, complete with a look at the making of Dawn of the Dead.

My Take:
While I love the behinds the scene stuff in this documentary, as a whole it presents itself as being aimed for a novice. horror fan. Too many techical terms are done in voice over making it seem more like a film theory class. Most of those people aren't watching for t, unless they are like me and complete horror hounds. Know the audience and give them what they want... moreof the gory details.

Rating: In the middle
