Deep Red Horror Handbook

Rating:
Summary: Although wildly uneven, this collection is worthwhile
Review: Chas. Balun's defunct Deep Red magazine furnished the writings collected here. If you have an interest in horror's grotesque dark side (yes it can get a lot worse than you could ever imagine) then this book is worth seeking out. There are some truly great bits, notably The Third World Cannibal Films and I Spit in Your Face: Films that Bite (and that means they have teeth, they don't stink). Sadly some of the editorals are nothing more than fan rants, offering no fresh insights or information. The reviews at the books end are fairly good too.
