Forgotten Scares: An In-depth Look at Flemish Horror Cinema
The feature-length documentary Forgotten Scares traces the birth of Flemish horror in the 1970s and casts a beam of light toward the future of Belgian fright cinema. Viewers are invited to unearth long-forgotten, and even unfinished, genre gems and dive into detailed explorations of underrated splatter-and-gore fare, post-apocalyptic visions, slasher sagas, nazisploitation, women-in-prison, and other fantastical Flemish genre benders, as seen through the perspectives of directors, producers, composers, principal actors and genre experts. Forgotten Scares is brought to life with rare behind-the-scenes footage, iconic film scenes, production stills, promotional artwork, and even never-before-seen videos from the filmmakers' vaults.
