If you're interested in horror films or makeup effects, this is definitely the movie for you. It's a deeply personal and interesting look into the life of makeup effects master Tom Savini, warts and all. I never knew Savini had such an interesting life until this documentary. I'd known about his Vietnam days a bit, but I never knew he had such a passion for acting and it occurred to me that, perhaps, this might have been his true love. I'd always assumed that he'd fallen into acting due to his makeup effects work.
Savini comes across as an incredibly likable, intelligent, and warm guy and his daughters obviously think the world of him, which leads me to believe he's a wonderful father as well.
If you have Shudder, this is most definitely worth your time to get a peek behind the curtain of one of the most creative minds of horrordom.
