A must-watch documentary on the 1980s horror decade...
Having greatly enjoyed the 2019 documentary "In Search of Darkness" and the 2020 documentary "In Search of Darkness: Part II", of course I had to sit down and also watch the 2022 documentary "In Search of Darkness: Part III".
And I will say that writer and director David A. Weiner definitely continued on in the same track, spirit and feel as the previous two documentaries. And while "In Search of Darkness: Part III" was running at 5 hours and 41 minutes, the time spent watching it went by rather quickly. And that is a testimony to the entertainment value to this entire trilogy of documentary on the 1980s horror films, genre and scene.
As it was in the previous two documentaries then "In Search of Darkness: Part III" has a lot of good commentary from a lot of big names throughout the 1980s horror decade, as well as more recent people.
The documentary offers a lot of good insight on the genre and era, and also delves into a lot of obscure and more known horror movies from the 1980s era. I have watched a lot of the movies throughout the three documentaries, but also had a lot of interesting titles brought to my attention as well, which has given me something to delve into down the line.
If you enjoyed the previous two documentaries, then you most certainly also have to watch the 2022 "In Search of Darkness: Part III". I was, once again, genuinely entertained from start to end.
My rating of "In Search of Darkness: Part III" lands on a seven out of ten stars.
