Description de l'ouvrage :
During the 1980s, popular fear of World War III spurred moviemakers to produce dozens of nuclear threat films. Categories ranged from monster movies to post-apocalyptic adventures to realistic depictions of nuclear war and its immediate aftermath.
Coverage of atomic angst films isn’t new, but this is the first book to solely analyze 1980s nuclear threat movies as a group. Entries range from classics such as The Day After and WarGames to obscurities such as Desert Warrior and Massive Retaliation. Chronological coverage of the 121 films released between 1980 and 1990 includes production details, chapter notes, and critical commentaries.
À propos de l'auteur :
Mike Bogue, a retired educator living in Ozark, Arkansas, has written for Scary Monsters Magazine, G-FAN, Movie Milestones, The Lost Films Fanzine, Castle of Frankenstein, and Mad Scientist.
Revue de Presse :
• "If you’re looking for a book to cover such a variety of films that all have their ties to the nuclear (or possible) disaster, then this is it… If you are looking for a book that has a compilation of titles dealing with the threat of nuclear war, the actual war, or the dreaded aftereffects, then this book is definitely for you!"—Kitley’s Krypt
• "A detailed look at an often overlooked era in which nuclear warfare, atomic mutations, and post-apocalyptic survival thrilled and chilled us. …Mike Bogue leaves no stone unturned."—Scary Monsters
• "Detailed…insightful…witty…astonishing…I’ve never learned such interesting things about movies I’d never even heard of."—Terror from Beyond the Dave
