I.O.U.S.A.: A Horror Film?
Americans (and others?), does this film frighten you?
Should it?
I got a bit of a chill.
To me, the most memorable documentaries are also horror films. (Try Shake Hands with the Devil: The Journey of Roméo Dallaire on for size.) Does this film fit the bill? Is it just horror for thrills, or is this serious, like the Dallaire film?
Is the economic situation really as bad as this film makes it out to be? Is it worse?
