The kind of nostalgia-bait that might cause a pause if one was to stumble upon it while channel surfing.

This film was made to celebrate a lost culture, and those who were part of it, or are merely curious, will find a path into the past through it.

Blessed with the right script and cast, Seidelman crafts the perfect tone – a grounded whimsy that allows the fairy tale elements to take flight.

Cliched dramatic stories aside, the movie has a gritty charm and overall likeability that makes it worth revisiting

It hurts to search for logic in the wreckage of a screenplay that feels like it was cut into tiny pieces and glued back together in some random order.

Genre: Documentary
Director: Sara Dosa
Cast: Katia Krafft, Maurice Krafft

Feels like a “greatest hits” album, tracking some of the most important volcanoes that the couple visited/investigated during the quarter century of their partnership.

With the exception of a few jump scares, this is not especially scary, and the book-to-movie condensations cause the occasionally incoherent plot to feel rushed.

Helped to define not only the filmography of Andy Sidaris, but the 80s exploitation subgenre that became popular in drive-ins and video stores.
