WINNER of the Rhode Island Film Festival
Nightmares in Red, White and
Blue is a comprehensive history of the American horror film that aims
right for the jugular. Starting with Thomas Edison's version
of Frankenstein and slashing its way through to Saw and beyond, this
incisive documentary examines how these monstrous creations were
gruesome reflections of their time.
Nightmares charts
the genre's shift from atomic age anxieties (Them) and
Vietnam-era violence (Night of
the Living Dead) all the way to post-9/11 xenophobia (Hostel), with
stops at the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Camp Crystal Lake in between.
Director Andrew Monument also explores the rebellious appeal of the
outsider, starting with silent star Lon Chaney
and later epitomized in Hannibal Lecter's idiosyncratic
pursuit of individual liberties.
With
commentary from horror luminaries including Roger Corman, Joe Dante,
John Carpenter, Larry Cohen, and George Romero, and featuring clips
from more than 150 movies
spanning over 100 years, Nightmares is a bloody master class on one of
America's most enduring and revealing art forms.
