Review of Nightmares in Red, White and Blue (2009) by Steven L — 16 Feb 2011
One of the best horror documentaries I've seen in a while. Instead of just highlighting the landmark films in the genre's rich tradition, this film dives deep into the sociopolitical subtext that many of these films invoke (whether consciously or subconsciously).
One of the central theories of film criticism is that films are inextricably linked to the societies in which they are produced -- and that idea is the foundation of this documentary. On a side note, FINALLY someone gives Roger Corman adequate screen time in a horror documentary (rightfully so, because there wouldn't be modern horror without him).
