Incredibly Strange Films (Re/Search #10) is a functional guide to important territory neglected by the film-criticism establishment, spotlighting unhailed directors - Herschell Gordon Lewis, Russ Meyer, Larry Cohen and others - who have been critically consigned to the ghettos of gore and sexploitation films. In-depth interviews focus on philosophy, while anecdotes entertain as well as illuminate theory. The book also includes biographies, genre overviews, filmographies, bibliography, an A-Z of film personalities, articles, quotations, lists of recommended films, and sources.
