In Search of Darkness: 1995-1999

In Search of Darkness: 1995-1999 (2025) is a documentary about late-'90s horror cinema you can watch online on iFILM. Director David A. Weiner's installment covers the five years from Scream's arrival through the edge of the millennium: over six hours of interviews, archival footage, and film-by-film analysis.

John Carpenter, Heather Langenkamp, Doug Bradley, Jamie Kennedy, David Dastmalchian, and more than thirty genre figures walk through what defined those years. Wes Craven's slasher reinvention. The first J-Horror titles crossing into Western multiplexes. The Y2K paranoia bleeding into every third release. Straight-to-video titles that built cult followings before anyone had the vocabulary for it. Bernard Rose, Ernest Dickerson, and Jörg Buttgereit also appear — not as talking heads, but as working filmmakers explaining craft decisions.

For horror fans who want something more systematic than a list, this is the right film. Watch In Search of Darkness: 1995-1999 online on iFILM.
