This movie is the definitive makeing of a movie documentary
Another fantastic documentary that details behind the scene nightmares. Very insightful and sometimes even sad to see such ambition crushed.
I’m SO glad this weird and wonderful story was told, with great attention to the details the made it fascinating.
A great documentary. The shite that happened during the making of The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996) deserves a movie of its own.
Such a bizarre story. Definitely watch if you are interested in “making of” stories.
Lacking in interviewing subjects, but is still a fascinating look into a disaster of a filmset.
Wonderful documentary on one of the biggest cinematic clusterfucks of all time.
You will believe cursed films are real after this. The movie is bad but this documentary shows you behind the scenes was far far worse.
All dry talking heads, however the incredible tale of the blood, sweat and tears that goes into making even a terrible flop is fascinating.
This is about the making of a...masterpiece; just muah. Beautiful.
