Book Description

This is a book about Poverty Row mavericks working in the United States today, whose movies may sometimes make it to Blockbuster but remain completely gratuitous and a million miles from Hollywood.

For years, horror and exploitation have been the backbone of many an independent studio. In this tradition, a new breed of filmmaker-with scant hope of mainstream acceptability-is making uncompromising movies and creating its own direct-to-video markets.

Twisted Visions is a concise overview of "outsider cinema" featuring key film reviews and many engaging interviews with directors, actors and scream queens. Their salacious, seat-of-your-pants, true-life tales are every bit as bloody and unnerving as the movies they make!
