Twisted Visions cover

Horror and exploitation films have played a pioneering role in both American and world cinema, with a number of controversial and surreal movies produced by renegade filmmakers. This collection of interviews sheds light on the work of 23 directors from across the globe who defied the conventions of Hollywood and commercial cinema. They include Alfred Sole (Alice, Sweet, Alice), Romano Scavolini (Nightmares in a Damaged Brain), Stu Segall (Drive-in Massacre), Joseph Ellison (Don't Go in the House), David Paulsen (Savage Weekend, Schizoid), Jorg Buttgereit (Nekromantik, Schramm), Jack Sholder (Alone in the Dark, The Hidden), Marinao Baino (Dark Waters), Yoshihiko Matsui (Noisy Requiem) and Jamil Dehlavi (Born of Fire). More than 90 photographs are included, with many rare behind-the-scenes images.

“Edwards not only knows the history of the subject being interviewed, but also really knows the films being discussed. You will learn a lot when reading this book. I can guarantee that by the time you finish reading this book, your Need-to See movie list will grow substantially”—Kitley's Krypt
“another winner”—Flick Attack
“The interviews are flat out fascinating.”—Little Shoppe of Horrors
