Having just recently sat through the 2019 "In Search of Darkness" documentary, I opted to sit down and watch the 2020 sequel the day after, because I thoroughly enjoyed the first documentary. And this time around, I was prepared for the 4 hour and 23 minute runtime that "In Search of Darkness: Part II" ran for. Once again writer and director David A. Weiner managed to put together a rather enjoyable and entertaining documentary, once that takes you further into the glory - well, more technically, the guts and gore - of the 1980s horror movies. There are lots of nice interviews with actors, actresses, producers, directors, writers, etc. From so many known and lesser known horror movies from the 1980s, which undoubtably was the most glorious age of horror cinema. And writer and director David A. Weiner takes you along on a fun ride as you get to see great behind the scenes footage, given interesting information of how and why certain effects came into being, and such. So yeah, you are definitely in for quite a treat here. "In Search of Darkness: Part II", like the 2019 first documentary, has a lot, and I do mean a lot, of familiar faces on the screen for interviews, giving you personal views and takes on movies, and such. If you enjoyed the 2019 documentary "In Search of Darkness", then you most certainly have to sit down and watch "In Search of Darkness: Part II" as well. And I am definitely looking forward to the release of part III next month. My rating of "In Search of Darkness: Part II" lands on a seven out of ten stars.

This is the follow up to In Search of Darkness and it adds more great horror flick clips and interviews. It was awesome to see Nancy Allen from Dressed to Kill and Robert Englund and Robert Rusler from the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise being added to the mix of interviews. There's also excellent coverage of many great horror films that you've probably never heard of. This time around, the interviews seem more sincere and toned down which is a good thing. Definitely worth the watch. Catch it on Shudder as of July 2021.

I liked the first in this series okay, but struggled to get through this second part. I have no interest in hearing actors or other Hollywood types interjecting their current year cultural politics over the classic horror films of the 80s. You had no issues at the time collecting your paycheck and selling your morals for a chance at success. Please don't pretend to have integrity now. The reason I watch classic movies and especially classic horror is to escape the constant finger-wagging, audience-blaming drudgery they pass off as movies in our current time. There is such a freedom and escapism in sitting down to watch these old films. Not to mention the true nostalgia of having see many during those years. I don't need to see aged actors and has-beens pearl-clutching and moralizing with the specter of modern-year wokeism infecting their commentary. Nothing makes a film as great as NOT knowing the actors or directors opinions on anything.

This isn't interesting enough to watch in one sitting. The info has already been put out there and it's a bore to watch former horror actors and directors inject modern politics into the genre. I don't mind pointing out how modern groups take a series and identify with it, but we all know that these guys didn't consider this stuff while making the movies at the time. It's a lot of back slapping and self aggrandizement in an overlong clip show.

I enjoyed this a lot I don't think I did myself any favors by watching it all in one go Jesus Christ, but I really found it to be quite an improvement over the first one, it didn't get to feel so monotonous, they noticeably seemed to put more effort into going into the hows and whys of why we love horror movies and some of what the many people were saying was quite thoughtful and even heartfelt at points. I liked how they talked about a lot of smaller movies that I love like Cellar Dweller and Dead and Buried, but it wasn't all just endless quick movie reviews, they broke it up really well by also talking about horror movie based video games and concepts for alternate versions of famous horror movies that never got made and I really enjoyed when some beloved horror actors like Nancy Ellen and Robert Englund and Linea Quigley, who is such a cool sweetheart of a lady, talked about themselves and their place in eighties horror movies and it was cool how this documentary branched out a little in how they approached talking about the genre. I liked it a lot in fact the only thing I think is really wrong with it is of course that it's obscenely longer than it perhaps needs to be, it's downright absurdly long, crazy long! There fifteen minutes of end credits!! Also I don't know what it is, as he's quite fun to listen to on his own online horror movie related show The Kill Count, but as he talks on here, James A Janisse is irritating as hell! Good program, don't know if I'd buy it or anything but definitely worth a watch for the reminiscing and interesting nostalgic anecdotes and stories that the actors reveal about the movies and the times back when, don't miss when Nancy Ellen says something very kind and sad about the late Heather O Rourke... On that cheerful note it's a good show just make sure you break it up into segments as you watch it! X.

The first film was better. I enjoy the information about the films. But, the last couple of hours gets into more about the actors. I don't particularly care for that. Just stick to the film clips and information about the movies.. Not the actors.

My wife first got me the In Search of Darkness part 1 blu ray and it was amazing. In Search Of Darkness part 2 picks up in the exact same format as the first one, year by year, but this time they go over more movies,including cult classics and hidden gems that all horror fans alike should be aware of. This time with more horror icons insight on particular movies, this documentary has it all and for those who are lucky enough to order the special editions. I was lucky enough to get the Chris Jericho addition which gives commentary from Chris Jericho and it's freaking awesome. I recommend for all horror fans to check out both search of Darkness documentaries and add them to your collection. I've been a horror fan since I was young and continue loving the horror genre but nothing beats or will ever compare to 80s horror movies. This documentary will bring your memories back to life with over 4 hours of movie moments that you may have forgotten about such as shocker, sleep away camp 2 and more.. Thank you again to my beautiful loving wife for purchasing this blu ray for my birthday two years in a row, allowing our names to be in the cast credits n allowing my love for 80s horror to continue. Let's go in search of Darkness part 3. I highly recommend a watch..with the lights off!!
