Spine Tingler merupakan rangkuman kisah hidup Castle dari masa kecil yang kelam hingga sukses dalam berkarir, dan juga memunculkan satu masterpiece nya Rosemary Baby. Film Spine Tingler gives us the whole colorful story in just about 80 minutes: From Mr. Castle's rather unhappy childhood to his early successes (and a few visits visits from lady luck), from his horror hits to his late-career stumblings. Ah, and let's not forget; Castle is best known for churning out the simple-style horror stuff, but if it weren't for him, we'd have never met Rosemary's Baby. Stocked with several excellent interviews* and a ton of photographs, stills, and posters from the filmmaker's colorful career, Spine Tingler is a great little documentary about a filmmaker whose impact deserves to be remembered. If the movie skips over a few of the man's lesser works (no mention of The Old Dark House?), the omissions can easily be forgiven. I'm also a bit curious as to why director / Castle fan Joe Dante was interviewed ... but nobody bothers to mention Matinee, Dante's own cinematic love letter to William Castle. Another minor gripe, really, considering that Spine Tingler is now probably the definitive doco piece on a horror flick trailblazer who might not have been the finest filmmaker -- but he sure did love his horror movies. And that counts for a whole lot. ◄ Kembali ◄
