Greetings my fellow Bidites. I stumbled onto what I believe is one of the best horror documentaries out there today, 2006's "Going to Pieces: The Rise and Fall of the Slasher film". I felt a powerful need to share this with you guys. Every horror fan deserves to see this in depth documentary. I am sure a lot of you may have had the opportunity to view this piece of history already. Those of you that haven't had the entertaining pleasure of enjoying this information packed behind the scenes masterpiece, I hope you dig it as much as I did.
The film is a historical and critical look at slasher films, which includes dozens of clips, beginning with Halloween, Friday the 13th, and Prom Night. The films' directors, writers, producers, and special effects creators comment on the films' making and success. During the Reagan years, the films get gorier, budgets get smaller, and their appeal diminishes. Then, A Nightmare on Elm Street revives the genre. Jumping to the late 90s, when Scream brings humor and TV stars into the mix. Although some criticize the genre as misogynistic, most of the talking heads celebrate the films: as long as there are teenagers, there will be slasher films.
