Overview

"""Erudite, passionate, and thorough"" - Guillermo del Toro ""Tim is the most eloquent and well-researched critic out there... Truly an essential - the pinnacle of his profession"" - Gary Tooze, DVD Beaver As editor and chief critic of Video Watchdog (""The Perfectionist's Guide to Home Video""), Tim Lucas acquired a Virgil-like reputation as the leading guide to truly underground cinema: those bizarre, elusive but revelatory movies that could then only be found through foreign and subterranean markets or swap meets. With this notoriety in mind, he was approached in 2003 by Sight and Sound, the venerable publication of the British Film Institute, to write a monthly column reviewing the most interesting new video releases not then available for sale within the UK. This column, NoZone, became a monthly feature of the magazine for nearly ten years. This book collects, updates, and annotates the full run of NoZone columns, while adding one previously unpublished. It is the first in a comprehensive new series from Bear Manor Media collecting the best of Tim Lucas's 50+ years of film-related writings, and the first such collection to appear in more than 30 years. Tim Lucas has been reviewing films professionally, with a preference for art and exploitation cinema, since the age of 15. His work has appeared in Sight and Sound, Film Comment, Fangoria, Gorezone and numerous other books and magazines, including his own influential Video Watchdog, co-published with his wife Donna from 1990 to 2018. He is the author of the multi-award-winning Mario Bava - All the Colors of the Dark, as well as The Video Watchdog Book and monographs on Videodrome, Spirits of the Dead and Succubus. An acclaimed novelist as well as the prolific commentator on approximately 200 media discs released worldwide, his achievement has been recognized with more than 20 Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards, including induction into the ""Monster Kid"" Hall of Fame."
