Book Description
In an age where the star of Hercules in New York can become the California governor and a former American president is better remembered for acting with Bonzo the chimp, so-called exploitation movies and the mainstream have well and truly blurred.
What better time for an A–Z guide that covers everything from the silents to the present-day, with an emphasis on the bizarre, the sick, the twisted, and downright entertaining? Whether it's Universal horror classics, gore-soaked drive-in fodder, kung fu obscurities, or Asian weirdness, it's all here!
Rated by an all-white jury? Not on your life! Spinegrinder comes straight from the heart of one opinionated movie addict, and all reviews are based on single viewings only.
Can you handle it?
About the Author
Mr. Davies has a compulsive addiction to exploitation movies. He was born in South Wales and currently resides in Tokyo, Japan with his long-suffering wife and translating assistant. Writing this book managed to keep him off the streets, making the world a far better place we think.
