Soft for Digging and Mimic: Sentinel director J.T. Petty blurs the line between fact and fiction while exploring the connection between voyeurism and horror films by speaking with both the people who make them and the scholars who study them. In addition to delving into such issues as objectivity/subjectivity, audience sympathy, and what the need to be scared says about the viewer, Petty backs up his theory about voyeurism's connection to horror by exploring the case of a filmmaker whose eerie,
shot-on-video horror films display an unsettling level of realism. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
A strange hybrid of personal journey, half-baked documentary and cleverly executed tease, S&Man (pronounced "Sandman") gets up close and personal with three of the more extreme makers of underground horror and fetish films.
S&MAN may have too many themes flitting through it, but curious horror buffs will find it to be a knowing look at the lowest-yet-purest possible levels of a genre.
Flixster please FIX YOUR CURRENT SEARCH SYSTEM - IT BLOWS. This film is impossible to find on Flixster unless you know your way around.Pretty amateurish semi-documentary, but watchable if you like the topic (Underground horror). References very few films and influences, but the analysis provided some insight on the
behavioral activity from underground horror filmmakers. I don't know how the last bit was pulled off.
