So, I finally got around to watching my copy of "
The Flatwoods Monster: A Legacy of Fear"....
Small Town Monsters (the company that produced it) has gotten a lot of praise lately. I appreciate what they did, but after watching the doc, I felt it would have been better as a podcast.
The Flatwoods Monster has fascinated me since I was a child and turned a page in a "kids book" only to find this terrifyingly disturbing thing staring back at me. Blew me mind, it did.
This doc, while good (and they do interview the actual witnesses so many years later), was lacking in the visual department and I felt like I was watching an old episode of Unsolved Mysteries after they fired the guy who did the computer graphics.
It's a good doc, don't get me wrong, and it's very important that they actually interviewed the original witnesses, but I still felt it lacking somehow.
They do good research, so I'm looking forward to owning a few other docs by them, but I stand by my original comment that it really could have been a podcast and no one would have cared less for it.
