Reviews
"A fun and readily accessible look at the philosophical themes (and commercial considerations) that tie these movies together... West's writing is lucid and appealing... Hews to a conversational style that brings these films and their intellectual considerations to life with flair, on a subgenre all too often ignored in horror... West is a solid writer with fascinating things to say."-- The AV Club ., "West may not have intended to write a feminist book about horror films, but in many ways that's exactly what she did.... West is a self-professed devotee of the genre...well-researched... An interesting read for horror fans and cinephiles alike."-- Booklist ; "West's invaluable insight is educational but rarely dry. Even if you're familiar with every movie profiled in the book, you're likely to look at them in a new light - in addition to learning a few interesting facts"-- Broke Horror Fan ; "[West] makes a very convincing argument for the re-evaluation of these [films], particularly through a fiminist lens. West shows herself to be an incredibly talented and gifted writer, able to deftly analyze films that were otherwise disrespected and actually make the case stick.... a very, very good, very effective book that should be placed in the pantheon of must own books about horror movies"-- Daily Grindhouse ; "an interesting chronicle of one of the most overlooked decades of horror cinema.... The book reads like a trip down memory lane, and West never condescends or trash-talks the quality of the lesser entries of the decade.... Fans of this unique period in horror films will surely find a lot to reminisce over and think about from a new perspective in this text"-- Horror News Network ; "drops many insightful hints to the movies...a wonderful book"-- The Horror Times ., "West's invaluable insight is educational but rarely dry. Even if you're familiar with every movie profiled in the book, you're likely to look at them in a new light - in addition to learning a few interesting facts"-- Broke Horror Fan ., "West may not have intended to write a feminist book about horror films, but in many ways that's exactly what she did....
