 A Great In-Depth Support Guide September 3, 2007

This is a great book for horror film fans and budding horror filmmakers. Even if you're looking to shoot a 5 minute spoof horror movie in your backyard its definitely worth a read. There's plenty of insight to the business of low budget horror filmmaking, plenty of interviews with honest directors, cinematographers, set designers, writers...everything you need. Many references to classic films that enhance the chapters. It's written well, easy to read. It's going to be beside me when I make my next film.
 decent, but there are much better February 13, 2007

Hard to know what to expect from a book like this. Sure it would be good for first time film makers, but beyond that.. there is not much here.
