Beautifully executed and a film that makes the highly talented, intriguing Tom Savini even more endearing.

Tom Savini's fire appears impossible to extinguish, and 'Smoke and Mirrors' makes sure everyone can see how brightly that blaze burns.

The importance of his contributions to cinema is never forgotten, but the value of the man over the work takes center stage.
