There's probably a special place in cineaste hell reserved for me for the sin of enjoying Joe Bob Briggs much more then sacred cows like Pauline Kael and J. Hoberman. Brigg's conversational prose, and good ol' boy style belie a deep knowledge of film history, a thoughtful and deep method, and most importantly a genuine affection for what he writes about that's largely absent from the work of most of today's professional critics.
It's fantastic to read the likes of Hershel Gordan Lewis written about with a manner of serious consideration usually reserved for Bergman and Herzog.

What a great, easy-to-read book!
I breezed through this volume in a week or two. I learned a lot about movies I hadn't heard of, and I learned more about movies I love! I expect nothing less from Joe Bob Briggs.
If you love horror or other ~tasteless~ genres, this is for you!

Not quite my cup of tea now that I'm finished with it, but it was a great text about the movies that shocked the world. Very detailed and researched, and would delight cult movie fans!
