Film Threat
Along the way this documentary interviews the likes of Nicholson, Ron Howard and (of course) Corman himself. Add some scarce footage and you've got a winner that is sure to please die-hard fans as well as newbies.

Alex Stapleton's lively, engrossing and enlightening documentary about a career that can be described as surprising on multiple counts.

Rating: 4/5 --
A supremely watchable documentary-tribute to the exploitation king Roger Corman.

Surprisingly, there's a very sour tone to "Corman's World" that undercuts a lot of the attempts to look back at Roger Corman's films with a laugh and a nostalgic gleam.

Cinema Crazed
4 stars out of 5 -- Alex Stapleton's documentary is a celebration, though its spiky humour and wry honesty ensure it's no hagiography.

Rating: 3/5 --
