Very insightful and interesting. I love me some of the Good Dr. Kermode, but he can't narrate for shit.

Typical DVD extra. Lots of talking, not a whole lot of interesting information.

A couple of times the filmmakers try to bullshit you into thinking that supernatural forces were at work for real around the production... which is, of course, a huge laugh to those of us who know who James Randi is. It's still an entertaining and informative documentary about the creation of one of the finest horror films ever produced. Ellen Burstyn looked surprisingly fetching in 1998, too
