Have you ever looked over the television listings or browsed through the new releases shelf in your local video store and encountered a movie you're absolutely sure never played in theaters? Sometimes studio moguls have so little confidence in a film's marketability that they'll send it straight to video. Poorly received movies, particularly those that play only in a few cities, are often pulled from theaters and tossed quickly onto tape in the hopes that video audiences, ignorant of their poor performance, might take a chance on them. Most such movies are justifiably condemned to obscurity, but some are really worth seeing, while others may heartily appeal to gluttons for kitschy trash. VideoHound's Video Premieres is the only movie guide devoted exclusively to the limited release and straight-to-video set. Author Mike Mayo covers over 1,000 obscurities, steering you away from the losers and toward little-known films of genuine value, interest, and fun. Mayo puts his vast knowledge and discerning sensibility at the reader's service, filling the volume with trivia tidbits, informative sidebars, and black-and-white stills.
