S&man [Blu-ray] - Psychological Horror Documentary Film | Perfect for Movie Collectors & Horror Fans | Home Theater Night & Film Studies

spoilers followThis one actually had me hoodwinked! I read the Amazon blurb carefully and convinced myself that it was, in fact, a narrative feature about a horror director who gets caught up in something dark and sinister while looking into the (fascinating to me) world of underground horror. Something like Shock Value.So I watch the movie for about forty minutes and then the truth begins to sink in...this really is just a documentary.Let's just set the record straight. I HATE Bill Zebub. Yeah, in the same way you hate that painful hangnail you just can't stop playing with. Surely there shall come a day when I allow the darker elements of myself to watch Bad Acid, but until then I try to keep myself as far away from the man as possible.And yet I found myself enjoying him most of all. And he was among some pretty esteemed company. Fred Vogel and Christy "Crusty" White. Wow! Yeah, sure, the whole thing was transparently just a behind-the-scenes project for Toe Tag, going all mersh, but still, I liked it enough to merit a four star, which is as much as any documentary this side of Titicut Follies can expect to get from me.And then I realized that this wasn't real at all.That Eric Rost guy. Total make pretend. And oooh, it all took a dark turn after I realized that...You have to love this movie. You just have to.
