This two and a half hour documentary takes a look at the making of the 1998 horror film Urban Legend.

The Best of May, 1968

The film was made and presented at the very end of the American involvement in the Vietnam war and uses found footage - imagery that was relatively unseen at that time. It originated from a motive of "look at what's going on here". Imagery gathered by the military for purposes of evaluation and review inadvertently tells a story not intended to be told; the unintended consequence of the juxtaposition of poetry and horror.
