This is the most popular sub-genre. The premise is simple: everything that could go wrong, did. The gold standard here is Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley’s “The Island of Dr. Moreau” (2014). This documentary reveals a production so cursed that the original director was fired but snuck back onto the set disguised as a background extra; lead actors refused to speak to one another; and the set was destroyed by a hurricane. It is funnier than most comedies and scarier than most horrors.
