While gathering titles for my list, I realised that movies with antagonists disguised as humans scare the hell out of me.

While violence in films released to cinemas had received attention from an official body, the British Board of Film Censorship, for many years, the lack of a regulatory system for video sales combined with the claim that any film could fall into children's hands led to public debate. Many of these "video nasties" were low-budget horror films produced in Italy and the United States. The furore created by the response to video nasties led to the introduction of the Video Recordings Act 1984 which imposed a stricter code of censorship on videos than was required for cinema release. Several major studio productions ended up being banned on video, falling within the scope of legislation designed to control the distribution of video nasties. Due to a legislative mistake discovered in August 2009, the Video Recordings Act 1984 was repealed and re-enacted without change by the Video Recordings Act 2010.

In Search of Darkness (2019)
In Search of Substance
Wow! 4.5 hours of 80's horror behind the scenes, interviews and clips! That's gotta to be quintessential, right?
Well.. no. Not at all actually.
What should've been THE definitive 80's horror doc left me on my appetite.
As a huge 80's horror fan myself, I have to say I was rather disappointed in how this movie didn't meet the expectations its massive advertising campaign created.
For each year of the decade clips from very few selected movies are shown and some
of the guests (only solos) say something about it during 1 to 5ish minutes.
Throughout each year segment, other topics are brought up such as: music, nudity, etc..
The guests lineup is rather thin. Some top of the barrel big names directly involved in horror movie making in this decade and some (many) less relevant participants (I mean, Corey Taylor. Really?) that are basically rephrasing something taken from the trivia section or only saying which kill they preferred in Nightmare 4.
Speaking of which, I know the A Nightmare on Elm Street and the Friday the 13th franchises are monuments of the genre but, I feel they were given too much screentime on this movie. Especially since they both already have their own extensive and thorough documentaries.
During the 270 minutes of In Search of Darkness, I learned nothing new. There is nothing here that had not already been seen and said many times.
It's sadly extremely superficial.
And this made me wonder: who is this movie for? Horror fans will be disappointed with its abysmal lack of substance and non-initiated will be turned off by its duration..
At a price of 70$USD, I feel this movie should've been so much more than what it turned out to be.
