Published by the UK’s best underground imprint, Headpress, "Cult People" (subtitled "Tales from Hollywood’s Exploitation A-List") provides a range of nice interviews with renowned makers and "stars" of cult and underground cinema. Amongst the interview subjects are luminaries such as Paul Naschy; Don Stroud; Dario Argento; Enzo G. Castellari; Jack Hill; Herschell Gordon Lewis; Claudio Simonetti and Shinya Tsukamoto amongst many others. Author Nicanor Loreti is an Argentinean writer (readers of Shock Cinema and Fangoria will, no doubt, be familiar with his work) and filmmaker. He is an appropriately quiet and presence, giving his interviewees space to speak and providing the platform for them to launch into some very interesting, though sometimes oft-told, stories. Loreti is enthusiastic about his subject and this comes across throughout and although there isn’t anything too new or too revelatory here for long-time genre fans it is still a very good and entertaining read.
