Description

Re/Search #10: Incredibly Strange Films is a functional guide to important territory neglected by the film-criticism establishment, spotlighting unhailed directors-Herschell Gordon Lewis, Russ Meyer, Larry Cohen and others-who have been critically consigned to the ghettos of gore and sexploitation films. In-depth interviews focus on philosophy, while anecdotes entertain as well as illuminate theory. Includes biographies, genre overviews, filmographies, bibliography, an A-Z of film personalities, articles, quotations, lists of recommended films, and sources. Book jacket.

THE Bible for fans of cult movies. Great interviews and articles. My copy has survived countless readings and I still anticipate Vol2.

I used to have loads of film books - I've cut back prior to moving house, but some I couldn't bring myself to part with and this is one. It's not a great book, but there are some seriously wacky films in here.
