The Unrepentant Cinephile: Collected reviews of cult, exploitation, horror & independent films written by Jason Coffman
"Insight and passion are mainlined through the readers’ eyes directly to our hearts, and Jason’s adventurous spirit becomes our own for those all-too-brief moments. (As proved by his entry in our Rondo-winning collection of essays, HIDDEN HORROR, only Jason could make watching a train wreck like Doris Wishman’s A NIGHT TO DISMEMBER seem like a good idea.)" - Aaron Christensen, editor of HORROR 101 and HIDDEN HORROR, from his introduction
If you're looking for another film guide to remind you to watch "The Godfather" or "Citizen Kane," this is not the book for you. If you're looking for a collection of reviews that confirm another person on the planet has watched "The Synthetic Man," or spent more time than is probably really necessary thinking about "Hot & Saucy Pizza Girls," you may have just found what you're looking for.
Jason Coffman has been writing film and home video reviews for Film Monthly and Daily Grindhouse for the better part of a decade. He covers a wide range of films in this book, from modern microbudget horror movies like "Babysitter Massacre" and "House of Ghosts" to golden age adult films like "Sex World" and "The Violation of Claudia." This book collects in one place all of his reviews of cult, exploitation, horror & independent films originally published on those sites and others.
Also included in this collection are all the reviews Coffman wrote for Bad Movie Night in the late 1990s to early 2000s, an embarrassing assemblage of pointless snark and lazy sarcasm that is utterly humiliating to read. But hell, if you wanted to find this stuff it's on the Internet Archive, so why not just format it nicely and present it here?
Additionally, this final ebook update adds hundreds of capsule reviews from film festivals between 2014 to 2017. In total, this book now covers over 800 different titles! It would be irresponsible NOT to buy it!
