Summary: Hollywood Gray style
Comment: What a wonderful book, with amazing, original and creative photos. Great reference for students too!!

Rating: 2
Summary: Not Wholly Satisfactory
Comment: The omissions of important directors like Kubrick (who was alive at the time) and Spielberg are too obvious since Gray went to the trouble to include pop-horror icons like Roger Corman and Wes Craven. Sure, we want an eclectic mix but come on! Another irritant is that some photos try too hard to be "artsy," so much so that we can't even see their darn faces! What's the point of including a photo then? Besides these factors, the book is one of those cheap "printed-on" hardcovers, with no dust jacket. I suppose there are interesting anecdotes to be had but so far -- a terrible first impression.

Rating: 4
Summary: compelling and unusal insights--a must for any film buff
Comment: You really have to see this book to appreciate it. The photos and essays make unusual but apt matches. My only regret is the smallish size of the book--because of the quality of the photographs it really should have been an oversized coffee-table volume
