Review of Nightmares in Red, White and Blue (2009) by A.d. V — 16 Sep 2010
A comprehensive, insightful and mature in-depth study of the horror genre and how it is influenced by the times and how it influences culture. It's handled with an even mix of humor and seriousness and features a boatload of clips dating from the early 1900's through 2008 interwoven with commentary from greats like Joe Dante, Mick Garris, Larry Cohen and John Carpenter. The cherry on top is it's narrated by the always awesome Lance Henriksen.
There are a few faux pas but they really only affect the diehard horror junkies like myself. For example a caption reads The Prowler but the picture is obviously from Prom Night. Minimal yes but glaring all the same to someone with issues like myself. Still overall this is an A+ study and deserves to be watched by anyone with any kind of love for the genre.
