Horror Europa With Mark Gatiss - 2012 - 6/10

Decent introduction / overview of Euro-Horror for newcomers.
The aficionado will see little new.
Begins with Expressionistic films from Weimar Germany.
After World War II, focus swings from France to Italy to Spain.
Talking heads include Mario Bava’s son, Kümel, Argento, Toro.
Sequences from Daughters Of Darkness, Diabolique, numerous Giallo, Devil’s Backbone.
Jess Franco mentioned once, Jean Rollin one of the larger omissions…
Not a bad documentary, but at 90“ this barely skims the waters.
