- Summary:
- Joan Hawkins offers an original and provocative discussion of taste, trash aesthetics, and avant-garde culture of the 1960's and 1970's to reveal the subversiveness of the horror film as a genre. Full of unexpected insights, Cutting Edge calls for a rethinking of high/low distinctions-and a reassigning of labels at the video store.
