Review of Nightmare Factory (2011) by Buggy B — 30 Dec 2013

This documentary offers a behind the scenes look at the life of Greg Nicotero, a celebrated special effects makeup artist in Hollywood who I know from The Walking Dead but was surprised to learn how many other movies he's been involved with. If your a horror fan than you'll love this, actually even if your not its super interesting seeing behind the scenes into so many popular movies. His Oscar award winning production team is basically responsible for any make up and creature effects seen in the last 25 years. Greg himself tells his story in a " Behind The Music" kind of way. Starting at the beginning with teenage home (monster) movies, his childhood influences, how he got started in the business, the 80's metal-hair days and including tons of behind the scenes footage from movies he's worked on and interviews with assorted directors and actors. Horror, fantasy, zombie, gore and animatronics. 07.13.

"In 1989 Greg Nicotero quit medical school and headed for Hollywood to pursue a dream of making monsters. Together with gore masters Howard Berger and Robert Kurtzman, Nicotero went on to create KNB EFX Group, one of the most prolific makeup effects studios in the world.".
