An enthusiastic ode to films with post-apocalyptic themes, this updated edition includes more than 1,200 movie reviews, as well as over 600 images and dozens of interviews with directors and actors.
From asteroids to the living dead, the film and television industry has imagined endless ways for the world to end. Fortunately, in this definitive guide to all things apocalyptic (in cinema), entertainment journalist David J. Moore guides you through the plethora of post-apocalyptic films, separating the excellent from the toxic.
Special features include:
- Coverage of iconic films that started the genre (such as The Last Warrior, Escape from New York, and The Revenger) as well as newer hits (including The Hunger Games, Mad Max: Fury Road, and The Walking Dead), while dedicating equal time and attention to the smaller, lesser-known films of the genre;
- Exclusive interviews with directors and actors;
- A five-tier rating scale and an extensive sub-genre index to guide your apocalyptic viewing;
- Plenty of additional information for the second edition "Restocked and Reloaded," including more than 500 new reviews, 200 additional images, and two dozen extra interviews.
Whether you're new to the genre or a hardened desert warrior, this giant dictionary will ensure you're ready to survive the apocalypse — or at least your next movie night.
