I'd suggest getting a film studies text book as well if you buy this. Goodall uses a lot of film school jargon in his writings. This is more of an academic book, not something meant for casual reading.

I prefer KILLING FOR CULTURE over this. Hell, I prefer KILLING FOR CULTURE over just about any book ever written on the subject of mondo / snuff films.

Wow myers one month your totally against Mondo and shockumentary type films the next your buying books on it

I am still against them, but I do want to learn about the genre.
