FAB Press exclusive SIGNED & NUMBERED EDITION
Each copy includes an individually numbered signature plate personally autographed by Ruggero Deodato
REVISED, UPDATED & EXPANDED SPECIAL EDITION
Cannibal Holocaust is the seminal ‘found footage’ film, acclaimed as being one of the truly great horror movies; indeed this hugely influential film is so devastatingly effective that it has often wrongly been accused of being a ‘snuff movie’.
This book is the fully authorised guide to the amazing films of Ruggero Deodato, whose notorious masterpiece CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST is analysed in depth along with all his other movies, which include HOUSE ON THE EDGE OF THE PARK, WAVES OF LUST, CUT AND RUN, LAST CANNIBAL WORLD, BODYCOUNT, PHANTOM OF DEATH, THE BARBARIANS, DIAL: HELP, THE ATLANTIS INTERCEPTORS and LIVE LIKE A COP, DIE LIKE A MAN.
With two career-spanning interviews, a detailed filmography, reviews of every Ruggero Deodato movie and a stunning selection of posters, film stills and behind the scenes photos selected from the director’s personal collection, this book is the definitive reference work on one of Italy’s most accomplished horror film directors. First published in 1999 at 112 pages, then re-issued in 2011 at 128 pages, this new edition is fully revised and updated, with a further 16 pages of new text and illustrations added to the previous re-issue, and bound as a luxury, silver-embossed hardcover.
Fully revised, updated and expanded, with a glorious silver-embossed case beneath its iconic book jacket.
