Movie Psychos and Madmen: Film Psychopaths from Jekyll and Hyde to Hannibal Lecter

Rating:
Summary: Shoddy Work
Review: John McCarty has a good reputation as a genre critic, but this book certainly does not bear that reputation out. Movie Psychos and Madmen is a collection of inaccurate plot summaries, with some not-terribly-accurate analysis thrown in for good measure. McCarty even makes review comments about films (such as Black the Ripper) that never got made!

After reading a few chapters of this book, it's easy to get the impression that McCarty didn't see half the movies he's discussing... or that he saw them years ago and never bothered to screen them again before turning on the word processor.

This book, in short, contains terribly shoddy work. Where are the facts-checkers at Citadel when you need them?
