"He rescued me and restored my soul." Boris Karloff said about working with Val Lewton, the Hollywood genius who fused light and dark, the bizarre and the everyday into hypnotic gems that transcended the horror genre. Martin Scorsese produced and narrates this documentary that features insightful analysis, on screen interviews with Lewton collaborators, and - best of all - clip after clip from his work: The Cat People (Lewton's RKO debut, which single handedly pulled the struggling studio into the black), The 7th Victim, The Body Snatcher, I Walked With A Zombie and many more. The studio brass gave Lewton shoestring budgets, lurid titles and a degree of creative freedom. Lewton gave the world art.
