Dokumentation: “John Carpenter – Fear Is Just The Beginning”

Sehr schöne Doku über John Carpenter, einen der Altmeister des Horror, aus dem Jahre 2002 über sein Leben, seine Karriere und natürlich seine Filme unter Anderem mit Interviews von Jamie Lee Curties, Kurt Russel und George A. Romero. Perfekt für den Sonntagabend.

Filmmaker John Carpenter helped redefine the American horror film in 1978 with Halloween, a low-budget thriller which became a major box office success. Since then, Carpenter has devoted his career to bringing a fresh perspective to genre filmmaking, striving to maintain the freedom of an independent while working within the studio system. (Carpenter not only writes and directs his own projects, but often also serves as producer and composer as well.) John Carpenter: Fear Is Just the Beginning…The Man and His Movies is a documentary about this two-fisted maverick auteur, which offers a look at the making of such favorites as Escape From New York, The Thing, The Fog, and many more. The documentary includes interviews with Jamie Lee Curtis, Kurt Russell, Adrienne Barbeau, Debra Hill, and other friends and colleagues
