Dumpster Diving History Detectives Discover Cinema’s Seedier Side

ALBANY, Ga. - May 27, 2015 - PRLog -- If one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, then obscure bizarre exploitation films are worth their weight in gold to many moviegoers.

Albany, Ga. – BearManor Media announces the release of Trash Cinema A Celebration of Overlooked Masterpieces by Anderw J. Rausch and R. D. Riley

Hollywood has always grinded out exploitation films, from humble beginnings with peep show mutoscopes of women slightly undressing to later more lurid films with scandalous scenes that were meant to be the main source of entertainment. In the 1960s and 1970s, these less than mainstream films often spewed out on drive-in theater screens with double-features of crackly prints that sometimes lacked a reel or two.

In Trash Cinema A Celebration of Overlooked Masterpieces by Andrew J. Rausch and R. D. Riley, more than forty noted film writers celebrate the good, the bad, and the ugly so-called “trash” films, some with reverence, some poking fun at their absurdity. Others offer more critical views in this one-of-a-kind collection of treasured trash for those with a passion for the seedier side of cinema.

Authors Andrew J. Rausch and R. D. Riley unearthed more than 55 essays on such trash classics as Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS (1975), I Spit on Your Grave (1978), and Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1965).
