Decent Documentary

UnConventional (2004)

** 1/2 (out of 4)

Decent documentary covering the 2003 Chiller Convention, which just happened to be the 13th Anniversary of the popular event. The event showcases the best (and often worst) that the horror genre has to offer with this years event bringing forward David Carradine, Gunner Hansen, Tiffany Shepis, Linda Blair, Sid Haig, Clint Howard, Kevin McCarthy, Bill Moseley and many others. If you've never been to Chiller (like myself) then you'll be mildly entertained just seeing everything that goes on. It seems like a good time but there's also some rather scary people there who would have me walking away if I saw them coming towards me. I'm sure non-horror fans would look at this film and the people and just shake their heads but, as the narrator says, there are some pretty strange and weird people but for the most part they are down to Earth and most importantly, good people. It was rather strange seeing Carradine especially considering I watched this about three weeks after his death. We see Carradine pretty much on the hunt for women. The best parts of the film, besides the fans, are all the strange requests that THE Texas CHAINSAW MASSACRE's Gunner Hansen gets. Seeing him sign various chainsaws was fun and it was also nice seeing Tom Savini on board.
