As a book, it will appeal to cult film fans as well as to those who offer a loftier justification for engagement with the death film. Despite the fact that this is a revised and updated edition, a number of typographical and proofing errors remain, while references to secondary sources are not always given in full, making it difficult to verify or follow up particular articles. Poor referencing may be due in part to the nature of the literature of exploitation cinema: the short lived specialist magazines which provide much of this book's secondary material may not themselves provide dates and part or volume numbers; but it is also because this is not an academic text book per se, but one which is also part of the cult phenomenon which it describes. Despite some shortcomings with referencing, and the inclination toward description rather than analysis, Killing For Culture is as compelling as it is repulsive. It is clearly the result of much research and appears as much a labour borne of obsession as of love. If this book's intention is to shock and disturb it will doubtless succeed more often than not.
