Summary: Fellow degenerates...your reference book!
Comment: This book is essential reading for any fans of 'degenerate cinema' such as myself, though it may be a little difficult to navigate for newer delvers into Italian Horror, for reasons already mentioned in previous reviews; the films are only referred to by their Italian titles, without the translations. But that's no reason to stay away from this, or you'll miss out on some really great interviews, especially those involving Dario Argento, Lucio Fulci as well as many others. There are some great insights into the Italian filmmaking of the 70's/80's, and getting it straight from the parties involved makes for fascinating reading. I can assure you, you'll be surprised and delighted at some of the discussions. Rivalries are exposed, some trash talking and - finger pointing - abound. Great stuff from the wonderfully strange world of Italian Exploitation. Pick this up!

One of the top three on the subject - the others, also highly recommended, are Broken Mirrors/Broken Minds: The Films of Dario Argento and Eaten Alive!

Summary: If you are into italian horror, you have to get this.
Comment: It's true that only italian titles are included here and this makes reading quite frustrating (for instance, the italian title for the recently released on DVD "Autopsy" is "Mache Solari"!). Of course, there is always IMDB to find out the film's english title. The point is that the interviews included here are very good with very few exceptions (the Terence Stamp interview is a joke). Argento's is great and so is Fulci's. David Warbeck gives a very good interview too and check out Tom Savini and Gianneto De Rossi. There is also a great interview with Argento's muse, Daria Nicolodi, a good reason alone to buy this book.

All in all, this book maybe flawed, but if you are into this thing, you got to have it.

Summary: A must for fans of euro horror.
Comment: A very interesting book with interviews with the most important people in the italian horror/fantasy filmindustry like Lucio Fulci, Dario Argento, Ruggero Deodato and Aristide Massaccesi (Joe D'Amato) to name a few. The bad thing with this book is that all film titles is in italian wich is especially annoying in the review chapter, it can be very hard to find the film you are looking for if you don't know it's original title. But if you can stand this fault this is great stuff, a must for all fans of euro horror.
