Art Trash Terror Adventures In Strange Cinema SC

Description

From recognized classics (George A. Romero's Dawn Of The Dead, David Lynch's The Elephant Man) to misunderstood masterpieces (Michael Mann's The Keep, Boris Sagal's The Omega Man) to unfairly maligned curios (Kostas Karagiannis' Land Of The Minotaur, Brett Leonard's Hideaway), Chris Alexander takes an alternately serious and playful but always personal look at several strains of international horror, dark fantasy, and exploitation film-motion pictures that transform, transgress, challenge, infuriate, shock, and entertain. Connecting these passionate and critical essays are insightful interviews with revered talents, such as John Waters, Michael Winner, Nicolas Cage, Gene Simmons, William Crain, William Lustig, Werner Herzog, and many more, as well as witty, heartfelt memoirs charting the author's oddball experiences on the fringes of Hollywood and beyond.
