7/10
Really good but very annoying viewpoints at times

This is a very good documentary and the subject matter is great. Loved all the contributions from actors and directors ive enjoyed since i was a kid however the view points from a couple of the female scholars really annoyed me. I do not see colour when watching movies which I know isnt the case for everyone and Im fully aware of the tropes in horror and the film industry as a whole but to have someone say that while she was watching Get Out in the movie theatre she noticed that the white people around her were rooting for the main character Chris really made me angry. Her implication is that the evil white characters on screen would still be supported by the white audience members and because the lead was black no one would want him to survive. Utterly ridiculous. This was just one of many comments tinged with the sort of nonsense you hear from academics who look far too much into things to make their point more valid. Anyway other than a few ignorant racist view points from women who ironically were talking about racism in horor this is one for the collection. Solid 7. I think this would have faired better of they got rid of the so called experts and just had more people from the film industry contributing.
