In Search of Darkness: Part II

Having just recently sat through the 2019 "In Search of Darkness" documentary, I opted to sit down and watch the 2020 sequel the day after, because I thoroughly enjoyed the first documentary. And this time around, I was prepared for the 4 hour and 23 minute runtime that "In Search of Darkness: Part II" ran for.

Once again writer and director David A. Weiner managed to put together a rather enjoyable and entertaining documentary, once that takes you further into the glory - well, more technically, the guts and gore - of the 1980s horror movies.

There are lots of nice interviews with actors, actresses, producers, directors, writers, etc. From so many known and lesser known horror movies from the 1980s, which undoubtably was the most glorious age of horror cinema. And writer and director David A. Weiner takes you along on a fun ride as you get to see great behind the scenes footage, given interesting information of how and why certain effects came into being, and such. So yeah, you are definitely in for quite a treat here.

"In Search of Darkness: Part II", like the 2019 first documentary, has a lot, and I do mean a lot, of familiar faces on the screen for interviews, giving you personal views and takes on movies, and such.

If you enjoyed the 2019 documentary "In Search of Darkness", then you most certainly have to sit down and watch "In Search of Darkness: Part II" as well. And I am definitely looking forward to the release of part III next month.

My rating of "In Search of Darkness: Part II" lands on a seven out of ten stars.
