5.0 out of 5 stars Great film guide for low-budget "splatter horror", July 8, 2001

This review is from: Deep Red, Vol. 7 (Paperback)

This film guide, published in 1989 by Fantaco Enterprises, was released in response to the explosion in low-budget indie "splatter horror" following 1978's HALLOWEEN. Films listed in this guide are mainly post-BLOOD FEAST (the early 1960s film that introduced "splatter" to horror).

Many films in this book are marginal and obscure, the kind not found Maltin's film guides. The reviews are written in an off-the-cuff manner, and I don't agree with them all. But if you've an interest in obscure gory horror films, this book is a valuable reference tool.

Deep Red is probably the third most complete "post-BLOOD FEAST" horror film guide, after John Stanley's Creature Feature Guides and the Overlook Encyclopedia (both of whisl cover all of horror). And occassionaly, you may even find a film in Deep Red the other two don't know of.

It's a shame it's not been updated, or re-released.
