Ancillary Review of Books on Cannibal Holocaust

Michael Uhall has written a piece about Cannibal Holocaust for the Ancillary Review of Books that references and reviews my book about the film. “Nightmare Green: Cannibal Holocaust as Theory-Fiction” analyzes the movie as a work of theory-fiction which Uhall describes as “a fictional media artifact whose very construction and conceptual density amounts to a form of theorizing on its own terms.”

Of my book Dissecting Cannibal Holocaust, Uhall writes:

All in all, it is hard to recommend his monograph more strongly, both for its measured and methodical engagement with the source material and for his willingness to take seriously the historical, narrative, and structural substance of a film so widely condemned and so rarely analyzed as Cannibal Holocaust. 

It’s a thoughtful article and, in addition to the positive things Uhall has to say about my book, it is gratifying to see other writers taking Cannibal Holocaust seriously. You can read the entire piece here.
