    The man, the artist, the legend.

    The most famous special effects artist in the history of cinema finally gets his own documentary.

    Seriously, if you don't know who Tom Savini is, then what are you even doing here?. . . .

    Don't sleep on this one. Definitely recommended.

    Absolutely brilliant Tom Savani documentary!

    Everything you could possibly want from a documentary about the great man covering his entire life story, it is highly informative and ultimately rather moving, and comes with a slew of bonus footage from Savinis own archive, a treasure trove for fans of a this true horror legend!
