Sadly, unwatchable
First off, I am a lifelong fan of Stephen King. I have read all the books, some of them more than once and have seen most of the movies.
Naturally, a documentary like this sparked my interest.
I quit after about 15 minutes or so, because I could not stand it any longer.
First off, was the sounddesigner on acid or something? Or why did he use "music" that makes your toenails roll up and yout teeth fall out?
Second, either the sound mixer is legally deaf, or let some kids turn the knobs as they please. The difference in volume across the whole thing is staggering and most of the times the godawful "music" is so loud that you can't hear any of the interviews.
Who thought this would be fine and greenlit it?
Did ANYBODY related to it ever watch it themselves? I highly doubt that.
It really is a shame and not worthy of a brilliant and beloved writer like Mr. King.
