This was a BBC production, a three-hour horror retrospective hosted by Mark Gatiss, an English actor and writer, who seems to have much more work in the Dr. Who arena.
It was a good retrospective. He touches on many of the films that are noteworthy in shaping the genre, but he does toss in some lesser-known gems that were noteworthy. He does seem a little jaded about the state of modern horror, but otherwise, he gives it a fair shake.
There were two movies he talked about that I'd like to see, but Netflix doesn't seem to have them - The Blood on Satan's Claw, and David Cronenberg's Shivers.
