It's pleasant and diverting enough for anyone who loves and appreciates the genre, but it's not the overview it probably was initially meant to be.

The newcomers to be interviewed are all fantastic and they all bring spark as they talk about their films they have chosen to discuss of films they have worked on.

Far more entertaining than the first installment where the interviews are a lot more tolerable. The interviews with the actors far outweigh the journalistic takes on what made my childhood what it was.

In Search of Darkness II picks up where the first leaves off, giving a further look into some 80s horror favorites, while also exploring some of the lesser known films. Not only is it a great look at the history of film, but it serves as a clear guide of what to watch that you might have missed from the decade.
