Synopsis: FANTASTIQUE – Interviews with Horror, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Filmmakers presents insights into 30 of the fantasy genre's greatest movies courtesy of the people who made them. Here, in their own words, are recollections, reminiscences and candid commentaries by the directors (and, occasionally, leading men and women) of films as diverse as The Exorcist, Men in Black, Sleepy Hollow, Twelve Monkeys, The Thing, The Others, Hot Fuzz and Land of the Dead.
The line-up is truly stellar. William Friedkin rubs shoulders with Barry Sonnenfeld and Will Smith. Tim Burton and Terry Gilliam recall the creation of their individual and unique projects. John Carpenter looks back at The Thing, once misunderstood but now lauded as a masterpiece. Zombie king George A. Romero retraces the corpse-strewn road that led to his return to movies with Land of the Dead. Quentin Tarantino talks passionately about the 'Grindhouse' experiment of Death Proof. And acclaimed British newcomer Ben Wheatley, hailed as the savior of new, off-kilter British horror, reveals the background to Kill List.
Just some of the filmmakers who have made a dent in the genre of horror, sci-fi and fantasy.
