Would you see a documentary about this film?

Would you see a documentary about the film Paperhouse? Would you be interested in supporting a Kickstarter campaign for it?

This movie tends to defy traditional genre classifications, but at times has been described as a horror, a childhood fantasy, or even a "thinking person's Nightmare on Elm Street."

Despite not having a proper U.S. DVD release, it shows up on list after list as being one of the best "unseen" psychological horror films of all time.

There are many foci that could be explored in the documentary, any or several of which could become incredibly interesting. Here are a list of possibilities.

1. The themes of the film involve childhood fears, abuse, depression, and (arguably) suicide. The images depicted are haunting and stick with many people who originally saw this film many years ago, as well as attract new audiences who are encouraged to see it by those who did see it long ago.

2. The child actress, Charlotte Burke, never acted in a film again, despite giving a remarkable performance. She now lives in England and operates an online store for children's clothing.

3. The boy in the film, actor Elliott Spiers, a few years after the film unfortunately had a severe reaction to medicine and eventually committed suicide after years of health problems.

4. Author of the book it was based on, Catherine Storr, was not a fan of this film, particularly the ending, which (arguably) alludes to the heroine of the tale attempting suicide. Storr died of suicide in 2001.

5. After positive critical reaction to this film, director Bernard Rose went on to direct the more well-known Candyman and other films. He has had a complicated relationship with the Hollywood scene.

6. This is an example of a film finding a life of its own completely on word of mouth, untouched by marketing or special DVD releases. In January 2014 Lionsgate finally put the film on Youtube as a film that can be purchased and streamed, though illegal versions of the film have been available online for years.

7. Reactions to the film and people's experiences with the film can be quite visceral. Interviews with film aficionados could be quite interesting, akin but of course different to the recent documentary about The Shining, Room 237. Although comparisons will probably be made to this new, successful documentary as well as the documentary Best Worst Movie, this doc will likely turn out very different. This is of course much less known and not considered a good "bad" movie, but I consider it a very different story to tell.

I'm asking this... for a friend. Any reactions to this idea would be appreciated, especially if you like the idea so much that you would support a Kickstarter campaign of some sort.
