Fact Attack!

As the decade goes on films decline in number; 1970 has 24 films, 1979 has five. The decline of our film industry in the ’70s is laid bare.

The paperback edition of this book set me back £24.99 in 2001, but copies are currently going for £160 on Amazon. Hardbacks are £295!

There are a few misfires: the portentous Don’t Look Now essay is bizarre; the inclusion of A Clockwork Orange and Straw Dogs is daft.

Most of the reviews are rewritten versions of ones that appeared in the excellent sex & horror fanzine Flesh & Blood (which I own all of!).
