Cannibal Holocaust and the savage cinema of Ruggero Deodato

Cannibal Holocaust is widely acclaimed as being one of the greatest horror movies of all time; indeed this hugely influential film is so devastatingly effective that it is often wrongly 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 all his movies and a stunning selection of stills, ad-mats, rare posters and behind the scenes photographs selected from Ruggero Deodato’s personal collection, this book is the definitive reference work on one of Italy’s most accomplished horror film directors.

Fully revised and updated, with an extra 16 pages of new text and illustrations, and issued in hardback for the first time.
