Being an admirer of the film "Ed Wood", I came across another movie that was supposed to be as bad, if not worse, than "Plan Nine from Outer Space".
Thus I was led to "The Creeping Terror". Saw some snippets of "The Creep Behind the Camera", so I purchased the blu-ray to try and learn more about the back-story behind the film.
While the "docu-drama" was mildly interesting, in the end I was left dissatisfied by the experience.
The main reason for this, is the tendency of modern documentaries to go in for rather cheesy "re-enactments" of events. Which usually involves mediocre actors doing bad soap opera, that has little to do with how the people were and what actually happened. It also gives directors an opportunity muddle actual events, for the sake of drama and helping viewers to "relate".
I found the best part of the film to be recollections from persons who were actually involved in the events in question. However this was relegated to definite second-place, as this "docu-movie" seemed to focus more on rather over-the-top dramatizations, that I suspect were highly embellished over actual events.
Please--documentary makers---just give us the well researched facts. And especially recollections from folks who actually were witnesses to events. Yes, I know there is a dread of "talking heads" being boring. But you are NOT making a drama intended to win an Oscar for acting. Just the facts and some explanation of what happened and why.
