An Exercise In Terror: The Making Of 'Death Spa'

About This Movie

So, 'An Exercise In Terror' is this intriguing dive into the behind-the-scenes chaos of 'Death Spa.' It’s not just your run-of-the-mill documentary; it captures the oddball charm of that late '80s horror vibe. You get to see interviews with the cast and crew who were clearly having a blast despite the film's, let's say, questionable narrative coherence. The pacing is relaxed, allowing for some genuine insights into the practical effects that are, admittedly, both laughable and impressive. It feels like you’re sitting with a couple of fellow collectors, reminiscing over the quirks of an era that had a unique blend of horror and absurdity. It’s definitely a niche look at a film that has its own kind of cult following.

This documentary has had limited releases and is a bit hard to find on physical media, which definitely adds to its allure among collectors. The scarcity of special features and commentary makes it a sought-after piece for those interested in the making of cult classics. While not always easy to track down, it holds a certain charm that resonates with fans of the genre and those who appreciate the oddities of film history.
