Heavily inspired by slasher films and heavy metal, Vodevil is a gore-filled collection of sexually-charged horror. "Mother" and "Eternal" take us back to the farm, where we meet two individual Australian farm boys, neither of whom will allow anything to stop them from reaping the harvest of their darkest desires. Evil clowns that seem to never die or lose their erections hunt in the shadows of " Plight of the Pallid" and "Gore Splattered Greasepaint". You'll also have your imagination assaulted throughout these pages by wolves, bugs, and a fed-up husband with a knife. This anthology is not for the faint of heart or prudish. Consider your triggers warned.

Russian and Soviet cinema occupies a unique place in the history of world cinema. Legendary filmmakers such as Sergei Eisenstein, Vsevolod Pudovkin, Dziga Vertov, Andrei Tarkovsky, and Sergei Paradjanov have created oeuvres that are being screened and studied all over the world. The Soviet film industry was different from others because its main criterion of success was not profit, but the ideological and aesthetic effect on the viewer. Another important feature is Soviet cinema’s multinational (Eurasian) character: while Russian cinema was the largest, other national cinemas such as Georgian, Kazakh, and Ukrainian played a decisive role for Soviet cinema as a whole. The Historical Dictionary of Russian and Soviet Cinema provides a rich tapestry of factual information, together with detailed critical assessments of individual artistic accomplishments. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of Russian and Soviet Cinema contains a chronology, an introduction, and a bibliography. The dictionary section has over 600 cross-referenced entries on directors, performers, cinematographers, composers, designers, producers, and studios. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Russian and Soviet Cinema.
