While it may as well be titled "An Interview with John Landis" due to at least half its run time, featuring him giving his thoughts on the genre, this was a very entertaining and fairly informative documentary, which Spans the entire run of exploitation cinema from its start in the 1930 through its height in the 70's and 80's, all of which are fairly evenly covered and it also briefly covers some of the modern day stuff. The decision to devote much of the screen time to Landis was a good one, as well the others interviewed provided some good insight, Landis is definetly the most entertaining, and is very much unfiltered, and freely speaks his mind. A very good documentary that I would certainly recommend to all fans of the genre, especially those of you like me, who got a late start.
