Not to be confused with 'The Psychotronic Video Guide' published in 1996 this is a totally separate publication and contains many entries that are unique to this book. For example. The 'Video Guide" starts with the blaxploitation movie Abby while in this book there are a whole load of Abbott and Costello Meet.... reviews to be explored before that. While the later 'Video Guide' has more recent films reviewed - relative to 1996 that is - I think it suffers from leaving out a lot of...

Plan 9 from outer space, the outrageous kitsch classic of supernatural horror, and Glen or Glenda, Wood's autobiographical hymn to the joys of transvestism, are, says Richard Meltzer, "Films of stature that will live as long as celluloid has being." Ten years in the making, chock-full of rare and amazing photographs, complete with filmography and bibliography, NIGHTMARE OF...

Covering (or rather uncovering) a wide range of films from the obvious (like Beyond the Valley of the Dolls ) to the more subtle (like Zardoz ) and the real...

From the 1920s through to the 1970s, America's most fearless entrepreneurs created thousands of "adults only" features - exploitation films that promised "sinsational!" treatments of the day's hottest topics. These films played in red-light district cinemas or "grindhouses" for almost half a century, until hardcore pornography and the advent of video rang the death knell for this form of "art". This book traces the uncensored history of these films, from...

In the world of American independent film-making, no one has landed on the cinema map with more explosive force than Robert Rodriguez did with El Mariachi . And he did so with only one camera, no crew, and a budget largely raised by subjecting himself to medical experimentation. Written in an exceptionally witty and straight-shooting style, this book will render conventional film-school programmes obsolete. Exploding the conventional wisdom that you need at least a million dollars to make a...

His ostensible subjects are the controllers and producers, as well as the all-important broadcasts. But upon reading these pages it should soon become apparent that Ellison is not merely talking about television. By using the...
