Storyline
The feature-length documentary "Forgotten Scares" goes back to the birth of Flemish horror in the '70s and shines a bright light on the future of horror in Belgium. The viewer gets a chance to discover long forgotten - and even unfinished - genre gems and learn in-depth info about underrated 'splatter and gore'-fests, post-apocalyptic movies, slasher-films, nazisploitation, women-in-prison and other fantastical Flemish genre benders through the eyes of the directors, producers, composers, principal actors and genre experts. "Forgotten Scares" is illustrated by rare behind the scene footage, classic film scenes, production stills, promotional art and even never before seen videos out of the vaults of the filmmakers.

From Daughters of Darkness (1970) to Cub (2015),this well-crafted documentary delivers a very insightful chronological history of something that few people will believe actually exists; Flemish Horror Movies.Upset by the Belgian press calling Cub (or Welp,it's original title) the very first Flemish Horror Film,director Steve De Roover went to bat.His mission:pay tribute to the forgotten pioneers. Surprisingly enough there's a respectful number of films discussed here.Be it the classy DAUGHTERS OF DARKNESS (Harry Kumel),the post-apocalyptic THE AFTERMAN (Rob Van Eyck),the necrophiliac LUCKER (James Desert) or the insane RABID GRANNIES(Emmanuel Kervyn).All movies discussed here get the screen time they deserve.Richely documented and fondly (or not) remembered by financiers,directors,actors and various contributors.Jan Verheyen, one of Belgium's most prolific directors and a real horror buff in his own right, is the glue that holds it all together.For this reviewer the emotional highlight of FORGOTTEN SCARES is the story behind THE ANTWERP KILLER (Luc Veldeman).An amateurish effort of a young dreamer that ends with the director's father tracking down all the existing copies of the film in order to destroy them. It's just a little example of a moment in time that will now not longer be forgotten,thanks to the makers of this very welcome documentary. Filmfestival programmers around the globe, take note. This is a must-see for everyone who has a heart for uncompromising,raw and pure filmmaking Flemish style
