书刊介绍

内容简介

Cult Films is a fun, sense-startling, eye-opening exploration into the campy, graphic, and definitely outrageous world of those cult movies that have had a giant impact on American cinema and American popular culture. Part-tribute, part-celebration of this small corner of the film industry--with its long history of pushing boundaries, railing against the mainstream, and challenging "good taste"--Cult Films serves as both a terrific introduction for the novice, as well as healthy romp down memory lane for cult film aficionados.

From the revenge-seeking sideshow performers of Tod Browning's classic Freaks to the singing drag-queen mad scientist of The Rocky Horror Show to the sex-crazed felines of Fritz the Cat to the depraved Nazi women in ILSa, She Wolf of the SS, and much, much more, never before have the wonders of cult film "camp" been brought together in such a unique combination of book and oversized movie poster postcards.

Campy and kitschy, Cult Films is packed with the rare movie stills, glorious reproductions of movie posters, special features, and insightful commentary on this most fascinating of movie genres. Behind-The-Scenes tidbits, storyline synopses, and memorable quotes are sprinkled throughout the pages of the captivating retrospective. From iconic films to famed directors, legendary actors, and surprising trends, this book has it all.

If the bizarre, the weird, the sexy, and the shocking is your thing, then Cult Films is for you. But beware: it's not for the tame and timid!
