Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

Paperback edition of the acclaimed grindhouse movie encyclopedia. A kaleidoscopic journey through the heyday of Horror and Exploitation Cinema in America. From Quentin Tarantino (Kill Bill) to Eli Roth (Hostel), the young guns of modern Hollywood just can't get enough of that exploitation film high. That's because, between 1970 and 1985, American Exploitation movies went berserk. Luridly titled wonders like The Headless Eyes, Scream Bloody Murder and Hitch Hike To Hell touted a combination of mind-bruising violence, weird sex and drug-soaked delirium. Nightmare USA is the reader's guide to what lies beyond the mainstream of American horror, dispelling the shadows to meet the men and women behind fifteen years of screen terror: The Exploitation Independents! Ranging from cult favourites like I Drink Your Blood to stylish mind-benders like Messiah of Evil and ultra-violent shockers like Don't Go In The House, Nightmare USA goes where no other in-depth study has gone before, revealing the true stories behind classics and obscurities alike. Includes: In-depth EXCLUSIVE interviews with 25 cult filmmakers, many of whom are discussing their work for the first time ever in print. Over 175 individual films reviewed, with full cast and crew credits.
