The ultimate Horror-fim encyclopedia 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 5 people found this review helpful.
Phil Hardy's excellent endevour to catalogue the films of, primarely, Hollywood reaches it's peak with the Horror and Science Fiction books. They both reveal a genuine interest in the media and, as an information non-digital database, these two items are the ultimate choice for collectors and horror/SF aficionados. Where Leonard Maltin says goodbye, Phil Hardy says hello. These items can be used either as a coffeetable companion, or as an encyclopedia for the serious movie-fan. There are some european films that deserves mentioning that have been omitted, but in view of the overall care in which way theese books have been presented, the omissions are readily excused.

pros and cons 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Lots of info, cool pictures, almost compleatly unknown movies (like Death Line) and huge hits everybody knows about (like Halloween) together. Also, not just PG-13 and R rated movies, some are rated X (like Snuff) and NC-17 (like The Evil Dead)
Cons: veary heavy and big-hard to carry around, out dated- only goes up to 1986, no table of contents.
Warning: This book describes movies with killing in graphic detail. The pictures contain nudity and gore.
Over all: Not bad, lots of info, very graphic an ok buy.
