In Search of Darkness Part III: The Final Journey Into '80s Horror

Having greatly enjoyed the 2019 documentary "In Search of Darkness" and the 2020 documentary "In Search of Darkness: Part II", of course I had to sit down and also watch the 2022 documentary "In Search of Darkness: Part III".

And I will say that writer and director David A. Weiner definitely continued on in the same track, spirit and feel as the previous two documentaries. And while "In Search of Darkness: Part III" was running at 5 hours and 41 minutes, the time spent watching it went by rather quickly. And that is a testimony to the entertainment value to this entire trilogy of documentary on the 1980s horror films, genre and scene.

As it was in the previous two documentaries then "In Search of Darkness: Part III" has a lot of good commentary from a lot of big names throughout the 1980s horror decade, as well as more recent people.

The documentary offers a lot of good insight on the genre and era, and also delves into a lot of obscure and more known horror movies from the 1980s era. I have watched a lot of the movies throughout the three documentaries, but also had a lot of interesting titles brought to my attention as well, which has given me something to delve into down the line.

If you enjoyed the previous two documentaries, then you most certainly also have to watch the 2022 "In Search of Darkness: Part III". I was, once again, genuinely entertained from start to end.

My rating of "In Search of Darkness: Part III" lands on a seven out of ten stars.

With a running time of nearly SIX hours in length, I thought I'd be tuning out pretty quickly. I didn't.

Full disclosure, I havent seen the first two movies, which I understand might be almost as long as this one.

But anyway, I really liked the documentary. There were lots of 80's movies I had never heard of. And seeing some scenes and commentary from the ones I HAD seen or heard of was great.

It's a very well made and edited compilation that will keep your interest for the full epic length of this movie.

It's a must see for anyone who likes grind house flicks or just horror flicks in general.!!!

With three movies at about 4hrs each, you're either infatuated and elated with this or you're turning it off after an hour.

Some call it a clipshow. Others call it a masterpiece. I call it quits.

I put money into the first and spent 3 days watching it. It was something new and I kept going out of support.

The second was worse. Each one seems to feature one actor to specifically come back to and it was Alex Winters. It got old quick and I turned it off after an hour and a half.

The third is a little better, but I couldn't see any reason to keep watching after an hour.

I'm a big horror fan and I already heard most of this information over the years through other documentaries, interviews, and special features. If you're a massive fan, you may enjoy this. For me, I don't think I'd ever finish it. It's just not interesting enough for its length.

I think out of the three in this series, In Search of Darkness part III is definitely my favourite.

If you were alive during the 80's and watched horror movies you can't help but be delighted by this installment.

It brings back so many memories of straight to VHS horror films that you may have forgotten about.

It has you definitely wanting to watch them again.

The people giving their insights are fun and insightful.

It is a very long watch, over 4 hours, however broken up into sessions, you do find yourself having to make you say enough for now and turn it off.

It definitely has the binge quality to it.

I would highly recommend this documentary.

There have been a few horror documentaries around, however I have personally found the In Search of Darkness series to be the best.

I have to admit i might be very biasd seeing as I am a huge fan of both Documenterys and Horror movies so i am the target audiance lol! (sorry about the spelling between my bad spelling and mis typing it may be sloppy so if bad grammer bothers you you"ll want to stop reading ) I have enjoyed every one of this series of documentrys im hoping they make more three isnt enough for me, there is so many more themes they could touch on. The actors and talking heads they got to do the interviews are great and too get a inside stroy on some of my favorite Horror movies, and most gresome kills, it definitly gives you a different view and tons of really interesting facts!!
