American Nightmare ( The Documentary )
Has anyone seen this documentary American Nightmare, it is fantastic, I saw it on the extras of the hills have eyes dvd. It goes into americas violent history and shows how this pyschology manifests itself in horror films like modern day grimm fairy tales. It also analyses horror throughout history.It is honestly one of the most fascinating documentaries I have seen. Highly recommended 5 stars.
It has interviews with Tobe Hooper, Wes Craven, Tom Savini ( particularly fascinating when he is talking about his experiences in vietnam), and many other horror luminaries.

sort of reinforced the point that it is humans who are the real monsters and that these films are influenced by external events and actions in society.
