Review

A fascinating glimpse into one of the most iconic special effects make-up artists and filmmakers of our time. It is quite thorough yet never repetitive, as every minute is utterly absorbing. --Film Threat

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