As they go year by year there are some entertaining interviews and a bunch of duds as well. It's more of a spotlight on people's favourite horror film rather than a documentary that digs deep into the history or cultural impact of 80's horror. There's some fun footage but very little behind the scenes stuff. It's like a polished YouTube video that is over three hours. Finally my biggest issue is how they don't mention Aliens once. They even have a section talking about the "final girl" in horror but they don't talk out Sigourney Weaver... I don't know if they had the rights to show clips from that film so they just forgot it. It may seem trivial to one people but Aliens was far more significant than the majority of the film's on this documentary. Kinda weird
Why is there snowmen? That doesn't matter. Who are these characters? Why does Val Kilmer sound like a strange foreign man? They dubbed his lines from English to English, so what happened there?
Let's start with the good stuff. The cinematography is pretty great. The sets and scenes are impressive and they have a great cast. But since the acting is mediocre it doesn't really matter. I don't care about any of these characters, they are all flat and boring.
The bad stuff is really bad. I guessed the ending within the first half of the film. There is almost no tension in the movie. They film strange flashbacks with Val Kilmer that have almost nothing to do with the main plot. The action is boring and almost non-existent. Finally the majority of the music sucked. They have this one silly song that repeats continuously throughout the film and it detracts all tension. Finally my favorite part is the scenes revolving around the 2020 World Cup and J.K. Simon's. These scenes are confusing, I couldn't tell you what was going on and who his character was in relation to the story. The Snowman is a hard pass. Watch it on Netflix but if you don't, you didn't miss a thing.
