Reviews

quite an achievement for what seems at first glance such a small work... if all Kamera Books are as impressive as this one then I suggest film buffs look out for each * Synergy Magazine * Kamera are doing a damn fine job of establishing a line of concise, useful genre readers... Good to have within arm's reach of dinner party discussion. [four stars] * Empire Magazine * featuring an eye-catching collection of stills, Horror Films provides a down-to-earth primer that ticks all the required boxes -- Howard Maxford * Film Review *
