DESCRIPTION:
Along with plot synopsis, analysis, and background on the directors and actors, there are also details on censorship and the controversy sparked. In this book you're just as likely to read about despised filmmakers such as Andrey Iskanov, Fred Vogel, and Uwe Boll as you are such vital artists as Abel Ferrara, David Cronenberg, and Lars Von Trier. The book also includes chapters on Spanish Horror under the Franco regime, the CAT III phenomenon, Mondo movies and shockumentaries, and an interview with legendary underground filmmaker, Nick Zedd. Beyond The Darkness is the first and only reference guide on the market to explore the most shocking, disturbing, and controversial films ever made. **** NOTE**** Anyone who purchased this item before June 10th can contact for the free download of the latest and corrected version of this book..

And as a long-time viewer of this type of thing, I considered the book sold as soon as I saw it.At last a horror reference guide that recognizes the importance of the films of Abel Ferrara and offers a wide coverage of the insane CAT3 movies from Hong Kong. We've got the nastiest, goriest, . Lots of info, lots of typos ravingbull I don't usually post book reviews here, but this book is so maddening! It is full of interesting information, and while reading it I learned about a LOT of films I had never heard of. ButGood Lord! I can't think of another book I've read that has SO MANY MISTAKES!!! Literally almost every page has an error.. Give this book a try mikemayhem3030 (PSN) If you like horror films and stumbling across random horrors (which can be quite good). Give this book a try. I'm actually a little jealous that Phil has beat me to the punch with this.
