S&MAN is a real documentary -or is it?- about the very nature of horror films, using interviews with psychologists, an author / horror movie historian, and some (in)famous underground filmmakers (Bill Zebub, Debbie D., etc.). Everyone is interesting, genuine, and in the case of Mr. Zebub, hilarious!
The best thing about S&MAN is the way that J. T. Petty weaves a fictional character into the narrative, making him every bit as believable as the factual subjects. This gives it a sort of MAN BITES DOG feel.
If you love horror movies, or mockumentaries like THE POUGHKEEPSIE TAPES, then this belongs on your watchlist...
