Description
British Trash Cinema offers a comprehensive survey of British exploitation and cult paracinema, exploring films that often fell outside the mainstream. From horror and sexploitation to 'permissive' social problem films, art house camp, science fiction, and Hammer's prehistoric fantasies, this book examines the full range of these lesser-known genres.
Written by a leading scholar in the field, British Trash Cinema provides an in-depth look at the history and significance of these cult films. With its broad scope and detailed analysis, this book is ideal for anyone interested in film studies, cultural history, or simply discovering new and unusual cinematic gems.
