Practical special effects are man made props, make-ups, and gags made by a specific group of rag-tag artists who clearly have a passion for what they do. Unfortunately these artists and their beloved art form are slowly being forgotten. Especially today, when major movie cinemas constantly walk past hard-working practical special effects artists and instead opt for the alternative computer generated product in order to save pocket change. So, in order to remind you guys and gals that practical special effects is a valuable art form that shouldn't be forgotten, I've resurrected my Netflix series to I proudly present to you, Nightmare Factory!
Nightmare Factory is a delectable and insightful backstage viewing of the special effects business that manages to inspire and inform the viewer with the standard documentary formula. It follows special effects guru Greg Nicotero and his buddies as they take the movie industry by a gory storm with their ingenuity and passion. Without a doubt this movie wins in every way with its rebellious style, killer music, and cameo appearances by some of the reigning stars of the film industry. So if you are feeling like you can spend a measly hour and a half then I implore you to see this spectacular documentary.
However, a quick disclaimer: If you are uneasy around blood and gore then you should definitely put this movie on hold.
