The documentary has this interesting pacing that mirrors the tension of the film. And it's great to see the practical effects discussed—those early techniques are what helped establish the horror genre as we know it. Plus, hearing from PJ Soles and Nick Castle offers a personal glimpse into the creative process. It feels like a conversation over drinks with fellow enthusiasts more than a formal documentary.
