I'm 54 and started renting vhs around 85 from Spec's , then Blockbuster and Sound Warehouse. Had seen The Thing and Christine in 84. Saw Creepshow , American Werewolf , Psycho 2 , Dreamscape , Terminator, Strange Invaders and a handful of others in the early 80s. Rented lots of Horror and Sci fi then buying used marked down tapes. Some new. Wish to relive those days. Jason Lives was the first one in the series i watched and LOVED IT. Same with Elm St 3 Then went to parts 1 and so on.
Very cool! Yeah I'm around the same age, and I miss those days! The VHS/rental era really was something special. Thanks so much for watching and sharing your thoughts!
Hey, Fuzz! Great to see a new video from ya. I have loved(and hated😂) horror since i was 6 years old and my dad showed me Aliens and Manhunter. It traumatized me at the time but it is my favorite genre besides romance(i know, i'm weird). My list that i rewatch often, in no particular order- -Friday the 13th series -Halloween series except for the RZ ones and Halloween Kills -Nightmare on Elm Street series except the remake. -Invisible Man, both the original and the 2022 version -All the other original (not sequels)Universal Monster movies -Monster Squad -Alien and Aliens -Nosferatu -Dawn of the Dead 2006 -The Descent -The Fly 1984 -Critters 1+2 -You're Next -VFW(saw the first time recently and it is a new favorite!) -Perfect Blue -The Thing and its prequel(i know, i know but i do enjoy it) -Terrifier 2 -Maniac(original is good but i actually prefer the newer one) -Smile -Jeepers Creepers -Saw 2+3 -Silver Bullet -Manhunter and Silence of the Lambs -Let Me In -Daybreakers -Scream movies except 6 -Renfield -Ringu -Jaws -Psycho movies -Quiet Place movies -Phantasm 1+2 -Orphan and Orphan First Kill -Frailty -The Fog(i have the same release as you, Fuzz! It was a blind buy and i absolutely loved it!) -In the Mouth of Madness -The Ward -The Conjuring 1-3, and Annabelles -Evil Dead(remake) and Evil Dead Rise -Doctor Sleep -Deathspa -House of Wax 2005 -Ghost Ship -Paranormal Activity 1-4 -Final Destination 1-3 -Megan -Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the remake😊 -Amityville Horror remake -Christine -The Terminator -Abigail There are many more i love but these are my most frequently rewatched. Funny you mention disliking found footage films. I hated Blair Witch Project the first time i saw it, but for some reason, i rewatched it recently and it wigged me out. I tend to prefer non horror found footage films like Chronicle and Cloverfield. I also don't typically go in for "torture" movies like Hostel or A Serbian film but i did really like Terrifier 2 a lot. For me, i think it is because i appreciate the amazing practical effects and that the violence and gore is so over the top it is essentially in campy territory. But i completely get it when people don't like it too.
Right on! Great to hear from you, my friend! Also, great list of choices you have there... There are quite a few on your list that I also enjoyed... like the Dawn of the Dead Zack Snyder remake... I just love that film. One of the best horror remakes out there, I think. And I too really l iked VFW... that one was so much fun! I also really liked Daybreakers (in fact, you just reminded me that I need to pick that one up for my collection). I also loved Doctor Sleep... fantastic sequel to the Shining! I need to check out Ghost Ship... I've never seen that one, but I'm intrigued. Also, very cool to see the Phantasm movies on your list! Love 'em! Anyway, thanks for watching and chiming in, sharing your list. Really enjoyed seeing your picks.
Yeah I only watched those films for the first time myself a few years ago, and i just fell in love with them. The first two really are the best, but I do find all of them to be at least somewhat enjoyable.
Excellent list Fuzz. A lot of your picks are some of my favs also. One not mentioned is the 1955 classic The Quatermass Xperiment. I saw it as a teenager in the 60s on late night tv, have seen it several times since, and it is still the scariest horror film for me personally. You mentioned mood and atmosphere and foreboding as being essential, and this film has it in spades. The pathos of the lead actor is subtle but scariest part as the film progresses. Special effects pale to films decades later, but not essential here, it's the excellent script, acting, mood and atmosphere.
I've never seen that one, but I will put it on my list to check out. I normally don't watch a whole lot of films from that era, but from what you're describing, this sounds very intriguing. Thanks for watching and thanks for the tip!
My Movies: 1-Alien,2-the thing, 3-poltergeist, 4-when evil lurks, 5-terrified,6-the descent, 7-rampant ,8-resident evil, 9-train to busan, 10-no country for old men,11- rec, 12-sputnik,13- empty man, 14-the mist, 15-event horizon, 16-prince of darkness, 17-in the mouth of madness, 18-annihilation, 19-pandorum, 20- the time machine, 21-a quiet place, 22-the haunting(1963), 23-the fly (goldblum), 24-hidden,25 case 39,26-world war z, 27-the bar(el bar) , 28-Mr Frost(goldblum), 29-cure, 30-28 days later, 31-28 weeks later
Very cool! Great list... thanks for sharing! I still have to check out Train to Busan... I've heard good things about it. You also reminded me about Pandorum, which I'd forgotten all about, but I seem to remember liking that one when I saw it years ago. I may have to pick that one up for the collection. I also love the Fly. Thanks for watching!
can't argue with a single choice here!!! that sexy Near Dark import lol!!! we need that on 4k! great stuff my friend, I always look forward to your drops
That's great to hear. I was wondering if it would be worth the upgrade. But I've always been pretty happy with Scream Factory 4Ks, so I'll probably pick it up next week. Thanks for the tip! And thanks for watching too.
A genre I always have steered away from, but I dig your enthusiasm for these films. Also, really enjoyed hearing your likes and dislikes of the various sub genres in horror. Watched Beetlejuice with the fam last night to kick off October. Need to watch Poltergeist for all the reasons you mentioned. Enjoy your 31 days of horror challenge!
Yeah I totally get it... up until a few years ago, I was in the same boat. For most of my adult life, I more or less steered clear or a lot of horror. But then I went through a bit of a change a few years ago and started to appreciate the genre a lot more than I ever had before. But it really does depend on the type of horror film. There are definitely some subgenres that I don't get into as much as others. I'm more into the old-school stuff from the 70s and 80s. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts! Appreciate it!
Halloween 2, Halloween 3, Creepshow, Creepshow 2, Carnival Of Souls, Friday The 13th 3, The Blair Witch Project, all rewatchable and have rewatched them many times.
Great choice! I have the Synapse U.S. version of Demons 1 and 2 on 4K. Love Demons... bonkers film that is a lot of fun! The second film wasn't as good, but I do love returning to Demons periodically. Thanks for watching and commenting!
You say that once people found out THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT was not real, it had nothing going for it. I think I have to point out something obvious here: If the film was not effective, no one would have believed that it was real; BS would have been called immediately. I still think the film is a nice ghost story. And we wouldn’t have gotten BOOK OF SHADOWS, which I thought was quite good, without BLAIR WITCH. I think you have an amazing, beautiful film collection. Thank you for this list. I am always learning of horror films that I may have missed along the way. Happy spooky season!
Horror price tip: Amazon just dropped Kino Lorber release of Invasion of the Body Snatchers 4k (1978) to all time low 19.99. Not sure slip cover comes despite image, see no notation.
Yeah it just depends on if they have any slipcovered editions left. I bought mine from Amazon probably at least a year after it was released, and I still got a slipcover. Really just depends on the title and demand. But that's a solid deal for that title.
wes craven's a new nightmare I did not appreciate as much until later but if you go back and watch it, it is the forerunner for Scream but the concepts where they basically paint Freddy as an embodient of the Devil that has kept him trapped on film is pretty deep and dark!
Yeah I liked New Nightmare... and yeah, I can totally see the connective tissue to Scream on that one. I'm not sure how often I'd return to that one, but I did enjoy it for what it is.
Excellent movie choices, all are great films. Event horizon still messes with me to this day. Sam Niell was very underrated for his performance. Another one that I add from my collection is The Prophecy, Virgo Mortenson does an extremely disturbing portrayal of Lucifer
Thanks Jorden! Yeah I totally agree about Sam Neill... I feel like he's sometimes a bit overlooked as a great actor in general, but I've always really enjoyed him in everything I've seen. But yeah, Event Horizon is such a fun film... even with the dated visual effects. I love watching Sam Neill lose his marbles Lol! Also, I got that Prophecy box set from Vinegar Syndrome, and I enjoyed that film as well. I've only seen the first one though... at some point, I'll have to check out the others. Thanks for watching and dropping a comment!
Nice picks! Love both Scanners and Dead Zone, although I'd probably have to pick Videodrome as my favorite Cronenberg. I'm hoping to do something similar this month, good luck!
Great list of movies. I have watched about 5 so far. The Thing, TCM 2, Jeepers Creepers, Sinister and Rewatched Terrifier 2 because the 3rd one is coming out soon
Well I like Horror movies that have puzzles in them. Escape Room, Cube, The Thing, plus I like Road Movies, Road Kill, Jeepers Creepers, Duel, plus big twists, Dusk Till Dawn, Triangle, and The Mist.
Yes! I love those type of movies... those that are kind of like puzzles. Cube was a lot of fun! I need to get that one in my collection. Road movies are fun too ... and I'm always a fan of a nice twist. Some great titles you mentioned there. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Don't know if anyone knows, but i remember seeing Halloween on tv and Myers throws the dog to the ground. Never saw it again. Was maybe destroyed due to backlash / PETA
It's still available. That extended cut that aired on network TV is included with the Scream Factory 4K release of Halloween that I showed in the video. The extended TV cut comes as a bonus feature in HD on one of the included blu-ray discs (although the inserts/extra scenes from that cut are only in standard definition, presumably due to limitations at the source).
I'll be doing the challenge as well, but off to a slow start, 0 horror movies so far. But it has been fun the last 2 yrs,I had 48 last year and 31 the year before.
That's cool -- Yeah I'm in the same boat... off to a slow start this year, but hoping to make up for it later on in the month (the first week is gonna be kind of tricky for me on time, just due to some other stuff going on behind the scenes that I need to focus on). So I'm assuming it's going to be a little harder for me to watch 45-50 films this month than previous years. But I'm definitely gonna give it a shot lol.
Some films to watch for Halloween: The Monster Squad, The Shed, Warlock, Troll part 1, Sinister, The Sixth Sense, Ghost Story, Ghoulies 2, Beetlejuice, Lore (2023), Abigail, Fear Street: Part One - 1994 from Netflix, Fear Street: Part Two - 1978, Fear Street: Part Three - 1666 from Netflix, Ghost Stories on Shudder, Sleepy Hollow, Trick R' Treat, Casper, Hocus Pocus, Under Wraps, Ghostbusters, Monster House, Night of the Demons, The Midnight Hour, The Forgotten One, ParaNorman, Waxwork part 1, Tales from the Hood, The Frighteners, Goosebumps, Creepshow, The Gate, Lady in White, Killer Party, Fright Night part 1, The Night Flier, The Lost Boys, Demons part 1, The Changeling, Poltergeist, The Mortuary Collection, Corpse Bride, Stake Land, Hellboy from Guillermo del Toro, Blade part 1, The Woman in Black, Crimson Peak, The Devil's Backbone, The Conjuring part 1, Evil Dead, Cabin in the Woods, Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight, House part 1, Tales from the Darkside: The Movie, Dog Soldiers, My Demon Lover and Pumpkinhead!!!
Awesome list! A lot of good ones there that I either own or at least have seen. But also, you've given me a few ideas for some other titles to explore that I haven't seen yet, so I appreciate that! Oh and btw, i love Sinister! So good. That's one I actually saw in the theater well before I ever went "all-in" on horror, and damn, it was suspenseful and creepy as hell! Thanks for watching and chiming in!
I hate to admit I enjoy a good found footage film. I saw "Blair Witch" on opening day and it was a revelatory experience. I will admit, to my shame, that I fell for the whole "it's a real thing" publicity surrounding the film. I enjoy the first "Paranormal Activity" film as well, though I think the jump scare at the very end is a serious cop out; same with "Sinister," which I very much enjoy, and "Krampus." The cheap jump scares make me crazy. I don't have the Lions' Gate "Halloween" 4K but I have the Shout version; to be honest I prefer the 35th Anniversary Blu Ray because the color timing is more along the lines that Carpenter and Cundey looked for...duller, more autumn-like with lab processing and filters. "Halloween III" is a stunning 4K...it's just amazingly beautiful.
I have never been a huge horror fan, myself, but I'm trying. I've always loved the old Universal monster films, but that's about all I was good for unless you count horrible 80's slasher films that almost fit better into comedy than horror. I've also never been a huge fan of gore for gore's sake. When things reach a certain point, gore can take my head right out of a movie and leave me wondering why anyone would be attracted to that. This is only with the more realistic gore, gallons of fake blood on the shoulder of some dude whose arm is clearly behind his back and not on the floor doesn't have the same effect on me. Cool video. I'm going to attempt 31 horror films this month. Started off last night with Onibaba. First time watch for me. I loved it, but it may be a stretch to call it horror. Good luck with all your horror. Have a good one.
Hey Steve! Right on... I totally get where you're coming from, because I've been there too. Once I realized there were certain horror subgenres I actually liked, I started focusing more on those subgenres... and that kind of opened me up to other subgenres. But i do find that I tend to like older horror films more than contemporary, modern horror. I love the atmosphere of the older 70s and 80s films. And I'm not into the slasher subgenre as much either compared to other horror subgenres (even though there are some slashers I like). It's been a fun journey and evolution for me in my personal tastes, as I've definitely warmed up to the genre overall in a way I never would've even predicted 5 or 6 years ago. Thanks for watching and weighing in my friend! Great to hear from you on this topic!
I've bought so many movies this past year since I found out about boutique labels what I haven't seen recently I'm starting with labels arrow first going down the line
100000000% agree with you on the torture stuff! NEVER any interest to me and I love cool "kills" but it has to be in the context of a good atmosphere and fun movie, Im not a "gorehound"...not a fan of Terrifier either!
Listen, Torture Porn is just that and it is for people who lean towards the psychopathic side of things. I also refuse to watch those films but have seen Saw and Hostel, not really knowing what I was getting into back in the day. The only thing I can say about Hostel was that I liked that the victim got revenge on the Torture Elite. But ya, I agree, I will never watch the Terrifier movies. The violence towards women that I've read about in them is not something I find entertaining and only psychopaths would enjoy that. I like many of your movie picks. Happy Halloween season!
I'm right there with you. I don't like that found footage bs and those torture films like saw. I can't watch those saw films. They're disgusting. But I do really like the 2020 A Nightmare On Elm Street which a lot of people don't like. I think it's better than the original film. I also like the poltergeist remake too. I watched the extended edition of the film on prime video a few days ago. I have the two white noise films ordered on blu ray too. I think they're very good films. I don't have 31 horror films. I think I only have about 5 horror films. I have the pet semetary remake and it's the worst film I ever bought. I have that 2982 poltergeist film on 4K. It's when you watch it on 4K you realise how bad the special effects are on it but it's forgiven because it's a 42 year old film.
Yeah I have my limits for things that get really hardcore. I guess it just depends on what it is and how it is executed. Also, I haven't seen the remakes for Poltergeist or ANOES yet, but I might have to check them out at some point just to see how they handled the stories. As for watching horror films I don't own for 31 Days of Horror, what I usually do is just stream anything I don't own. I have a subscription to Shudder via my Amazon Prime account (it's like $6-7 a month or something), and they always have a lot of great horror titles to stream around this time of year. Of course, not as good as watching on disc, but I do find streaming to be handy when I'm doing a marathon like this. Thanks for watching and weighing in! Really appreciate it!
I feel the same about those xxxtreme piles of trash. A lot of them try too hard and just lack style and creativity. Hellraiser 2 was the most intense one i saw in the theater. Originally had an x rating by MPAA Then Hellraiser 4 was a close 2nd
Yeah Hellraiser franchise is a great example. I tried to watch the first one a few years back and I don't think got more than about 20 minutes into it before I turned it off. Just not my type of horror.
My take: found footage is cheap, lazy, mass-produced mockumentaries. Most gore fests are blood baths without plots. May as well watch 2 hours of major surgeries.
The Blob, The Thing, The Fly and Invasion 78 are the best remakes
I agree completely.
I'm 54 and started renting vhs around 85 from Spec's , then Blockbuster and Sound Warehouse.
Had seen The Thing and Christine in 84. Saw Creepshow , American Werewolf , Psycho 2 ,
Dreamscape , Terminator, Strange Invaders and a handful of others in the early 80s.
Rented lots of Horror and Sci fi then buying used marked down tapes. Some new.
Wish to relive those days. Jason Lives was the first one in the series i watched and LOVED IT. Same with Elm St 3
Then went to parts 1 and so on.
Very cool! Yeah I'm around the same age, and I miss those days! The VHS/rental era really was something special. Thanks so much for watching and sharing your thoughts!

Anyway, thanks for watching and chiming in, sharing your list. Really enjoyed seeing your picks.
Trick or Treat. Salem's Lot. Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Lost Boys. Hallowerm. The Fog.
Great choices! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nice Phantasm shirt. I'm new to that movie and really enjoyed it. I ended up watching the whole franchise.
Yeah I only watched those films for the first time myself a few years ago, and i just fell in love with them. The first two really are the best, but I do find all of them to be at least somewhat enjoyable.
Love Pumpkinhead. RIP Stan Winston
Excellent list Fuzz. A lot of your picks are some of my favs also. One not mentioned is the 1955 classic The Quatermass Xperiment.

I also love the Fly. Thanks for watching!
can't argue with a single choice here!!! that sexy Near Dark import lol!!! we need that on 4k! great stuff my friend, I always look forward to your drops
Thanks so much Chase! Great to see you. Yeah I can't wait until we get Near Dark on 4K... That will definitely be a Day One purchase for me.
@@TheOriginalFuzz same! that is a day 1 target!
You absolutely need to pick up the 4k of the Dead Zone. It looks fantastic, the dolby vision really pops!
That's great to hear. I was wondering if it would be worth the upgrade. But I've always been pretty happy with Scream Factory 4Ks, so I'll probably pick it up next week. Thanks for the tip! And thanks for watching too.

The Howling is my favorite werewolf film, too.
The fog great movie like you say best atmosphere just watched it Monday night fantastic
Yeah I never get tired of The Fog! Such a fun film, and I just love that vibe. That movie is all atmosphere. Love it!
Excellent movie choices, all are great films. Event horizon still messes with me to this day. Sam Niell was very underrated for his performance. Another one that I add from my collection is The Prophecy, Virgo Mortenson does an extremely disturbing portrayal of Lucifer

Duel is one of the most tense movies I've ever seen. It is Spielberg's masterpiece.
Don't know if anyone knows, but i remember seeing Halloween on tv and Myers throws the dog to the ground.
Never saw it again. Was maybe destroyed due to backlash / PETA

Black Christmas, Phantasm, Dawn of the Dead, Tex Chainsaw, Suspiria and Alien....me likey those
I like only the first 2 Phantasms. Part 2 more for me as well
Yeah the rest are crap.
I'll be doing the challenge as well, but off to a slow start, 0 horror movies so far. But it has been fun the last 2 yrs,I had 48 last year and 31 the year before.
That's cool -- Yeah I'm in the same boat... off to a slow start this year, but hoping to make up for it later on in the month (the first week is gonna be kind of tricky for me on time, just due to some other stuff going on behind the scenes that I need to focus on). So I'm assuming it's going to be a little harder for me to watch 45-50 films this month than previous years. But I'm definitely gonna give it a shot lol.

Awesome list! A lot of good ones there that I either own or at least have seen. But also, you've given me a few ideas for some other titles to explore that I haven't seen yet, so I appreciate that! Oh and btw, i love Sinister! So good. That's one I actually saw in the theater well before I ever went "all-in" on horror, and damn, it was suspenseful and creepy as hell! Thanks for watching and chiming in!
@@TheOriginalFuzz Mr. Frost with Jeff Goldblum and The Forgotten One with Terry O'Quinn are good horror films!!!
I hate to admit I enjoy a good found footage film. I saw "Blair Witch" on opening day and it was a revelatory experience. I will admit, to my shame, that I fell for the whole "it's a real thing" publicity surrounding the film. I enjoy the first "Paranormal Activity" film as well, though I think the jump scare at the very end is a serious cop out; same with "Sinister," which I very much enjoy, and "Krampus." The cheap jump scares make me crazy. I don't have the Lions' Gate "Halloween" 4K but I have the Shout version; to be honest I prefer the 35th Anniversary Blu Ray because the color timing is more along the lines that Carpenter and Cundey looked for...duller, more autumn-like with lab processing and filters. "Halloween III" is a stunning 4K...it's just amazingly beautiful.
I have never been a huge horror fan, myself, but I'm trying. I've always loved the old Universal monster films, but that's about all I was good for unless you count horrible 80's slasher films that almost fit better into comedy than horror. I've also never been a huge fan of gore for gore's sake. When things reach a certain point, gore can take my head right out of a movie and leave me wondering why anyone would be attracted to that. This is only with the more realistic gore, gallons of fake blood on the shoulder of some dude whose arm is clearly behind his back and not on the floor doesn't have the same effect on me. Cool video. I'm going to attempt 31 horror films this month. Started off last night with Onibaba. First time watch for me. I loved it, but it may be a stretch to call it horror. Good luck with all your horror. Have a good one.
Hey Steve! Right on... I totally get where you're coming from, because I've been there too. Once I realized there were certain horror subgenres I actually liked, I started focusing more on those subgenres... and that kind of opened me up to other subgenres. But i do find that I tend to like older horror films more than contemporary, modern horror. I love the atmosphere of the older 70s and 80s films. And I'm not into the slasher subgenre as much either compared to other horror subgenres (even though there are some slashers I like). It's been a fun journey and evolution for me in my personal tastes, as I've definitely warmed up to the genre overall in a way I never would've even predicted 5 or 6 years ago. Thanks for watching and weighing in my friend! Great to hear from you on this topic!
I've bought so many movies this past year since I found out about boutique labels what I haven't seen recently I'm starting with labels arrow first going down the line
Awesome! I love the boutiques... they have so many great titles and collectible editions. And Arrow is one of my faves. Thanks for watching!
100000000% agree with you on the torture stuff! NEVER any interest to me and I love cool "kills" but it has to be in the context of a good atmosphere and fun movie, Im not a "gorehound"...not a fan of Terrifier either!
Yep that's exactly how I feel. For me, it's all about what best serves the film and overall story, atmosphere, etc.
Listen, Torture Porn is just that and it is for people who lean towards the psychopathic side of things. I also refuse to watch those films but have seen Saw and Hostel, not really knowing what I was getting into back in the day. The only thing I can say about Hostel was that I liked that the victim got revenge on the Torture Elite. But ya, I agree, I will never watch the Terrifier movies. The violence towards women that I've read about in them is not something I find entertaining and only psychopaths would enjoy that. I like many of your movie picks. Happy Halloween season!
I have The Fury Twilight Time blu ray.
I'm right there with you. I don't like that found footage bs and those torture films like saw. I can't watch those saw films. They're disgusting.
But I do really like the 2020 A Nightmare On Elm Street which a lot of people don't like. I think it's better than the original film.
I also like the poltergeist remake too. I watched the extended edition of the film on prime video a few days ago.
I have the two white noise films ordered on blu ray too. I think they're very good films.
I don't have 31 horror films. I think I only have about 5 horror films. I have the pet semetary remake and it's the worst film I ever bought.
I have that 2982 poltergeist film on 4K. It's when you watch it on 4K you realise how bad the special effects are on it but it's forgiven because it's a 42 year old film.
Yeah I have my limits for things that get really hardcore. I guess it just depends on what it is and how it is executed. Also, I haven't seen the remakes for Poltergeist or ANOES yet, but I might have to check them out at some point just to see how they handled the stories. As for watching horror films I don't own for 31 Days of Horror, what I usually do is just stream anything I don't own. I have a subscription to Shudder via my Amazon Prime account (it's like $6-7 a month or something), and they always have a lot of great horror titles to stream around this time of year. Of course, not as good as watching on disc, but I do find streaming to be handy when I'm doing a marathon like this. Thanks for watching and weighing in! Really appreciate it!
Have you ever seen THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES??????????????????
I feel the same about those xxxtreme piles of trash. A lot of them try too hard and just lack style and creativity.
Hellraiser 2 was the most intense one i saw in the theater. Originally had an x rating by MPAA
Then Hellraiser 4 was a close 2nd
Yeah Hellraiser franchise is a great example. I tried to watch the first one a few years back and I don't think got more than about 20 minutes into it before I turned it off. Just not my type of horror.
Can you get Near Dark on 4K easily?
I agree buzz that Blair witch is crap
My take: found footage is cheap, lazy, mass-produced mockumentaries. Most gore fests are blood baths without plots. May as well watch 2 hours of major surgeries.
Wow. Over 10min of fluff at the start
