An informative documentary about Robert Englund, but also a love letter to the person and his craft. I really enjoyed every bit of this doc and it kept me interested 'til the end.
I must confess that - besides all the movies and tv shows as Krueger - i'm not a huge fan of most of the movies Mr. Englund have appeared in. I always enjoy his acting and presence on screes tho. But after watching this documentary, i have more understanding of why he decided to involve himself in projects that probably wasn't destined to be huge hits. The reason? He's actually a rare genuine actor. He wants to act and he loves to act. He see's the opportunity to learn, teach and enjoy every aspect of what he's doing, no matter if he's working with big time or first time directors and actors. Also, if you have this passion and love for acting, you must also be a social loveable person who enjoy the interaction with others, which he clearly does and which is clearly noticed by the people he work with or just interact with at conventions.
I'm one of those kids Mr. Englund is talking about in this doc. I used to hide and peek unnoticed behind the couch when my mother and her sister were watching horror movies - or being noticed and told to stop peeking. I was just 6 years old and now i'm closing in on 50.
I've always been a huge fan and devourer of horror movies and i've always loved Robert Englund as an actor, but now i love him even more as a person.
