A portrait of a legend so famous he was known only by his surname.
This teaser was cut to attract finance for the documentary. Schedule conflicts mean I wasn’t able to cut the final film but I'm proud to say the teaser garnered all the funding necessary to complete the project which had been a true labour of love for the director.
Hailed as “a masterclass in cinematic biography” (The Hollywood Reporter), the film blends rare archival footage and candid interviews to explore the enduring cultural influence of Boris Karloff. The Guardian called it “a revelation, restoring humanity to a man typecast by his own genius.” Its “scholarly rigor and emotional depth,” cementing it as the definitive portrait of Hollywood’s most gentle monster.
