Review # 1 was written on 2014-10-07 00:00:00 Jessica Bostwick By and large, the VideoHound movie books are pretty good. The reviews are amusing without being irritating, plots are breezily recounted, and their opinions are often refreshingly against the grain. Through them I've discovered many fun films. So far this volume remains my favorite. One problem with this series: far too many indexes. I'd rather they leave that sort of thing to the Internet Movie Database, and fill those pages with more reviews. Otherwise, this is reference at its most readable.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-12-28 00:00:00 Leonard Blasso Snarky but lightweight and bland, with an off-putting, dismissive mainstream sensibility. Far too many staggering errors and omissions to be taken as authoritative. 300 pages of indexes but no room for William Castle's complete oeuvre? This is a problem with all of the Videohound series. For cinema dilettantes only.
