Time Out says
4 out of 5 stars
A spooky treat for Halloween, as the louche ‘League of Gentleman’ star,
‘Sherlock’ mastermind, walking film encyclopedia and owner of the most
creepily avuncular smile in showbiz takes a moonlight stroll through
European cinema’s century-long fascination with the macabre. As with his
recent, English-language-centric, three-parter on the history of scary
movies, ‘Horror Europa’ is far from comprehensive, with Gatiss
hand-picking a small selection of personal favourites rather than
bombarding the viewer with titles. But there are plenty of juicy morsels
here, even for the initiated. Movies like ‘Nosferatu’, ‘Eyes Without a
Face’ and ‘Suspiria’ may be familiar, but Gatiss digs deeper than you’d
expect, unearthing some real treats including a fascinating overview of
the career of tortured German icon Conrad Veidt and a rare interview
with Spanish director Narciso Ibàñez Serrador. The result should
increase awareness of this all-too-often misunderstood and overlooked
continental canon – though viewers are advised to keep a pen and pad
handy to jot down the most intriguing titles. Time for ‘Horror Asia’,
Mark?
