While I found it fun and engaging, some of it is retread from other horror explorations and its appeal likely doesn't extend beyond fans of the genre.

Why Horror? is a decent documentary being shown

Why Horror? is a decent documentary being shown on Showtime that covers some good ground. For a horror fan, I learned a couple things. As someone flipping around to be entertained, I was just that. The director is a nerdy fan who asks a few questions that get answered by some popular names including the great George Romero, Eli Roth (although after his Green Inferno film, I feel the need to put his title in quotation marks when I call him a "director") and others. The narrator and star travels around places like Japan, London, and his brain, investigating people's reactions to horror and why they react the way they do. He also covers things like women in horror and video games. If you enjoy good documentaries and horror films,, take a look. This is an entertaining movie that is well put together and was able to keep my interest through the whole thing.

He is in front of the camera too much

Not too bad Documentary about horror, however, the director is in front of the camera too much in he makes it too much about himself, a problem known as "Michael Moore Syndrome", a serious documentary doesn't focus on the life of the director, but on the subject! We are treated to long scenes of the director's childhood, interviews with his parents(?!?!?) and other scenes that have nothing to do with horror movies. In my opinion if a director wants to make a documentary, he should NOT be in front of the camera, except for a few seconds, that's all!! The interviews are OK, but nothing we haven't seen before, all in all mediocre effort.
