Book Reviews of Going to Pieces: The Rise and Fall of the Slasher Film, 1978 to 1986

Book Review: An perfect book for students or fans of slasher movies
Summary: 5 Stars

This book has been a god send! It has really helped me with my thesis on the representation of women in the slasher film. Not only is it easy to read but it also makes some really good points that are easy to grasp and not too theory based. I would recommend this book to anyone that studies film or who has an avid interest in slasher/horror films. It is funny and imformative and has little obscure facts embedded within it.With fantastic pictures it is a sure keep-sake, a must have for your bookshelf!
