Cult Films: Taboo and Transgression looks at nine decades of cult
films history within American culture. By highlighting three films
per decade including a brief summary of the decade's identity and
sensibility, the book investigates the quality, ironies, and spirit
of cult film evolution. The twenty-seven films selected for this
study are analyzed for story content and in their respective
transgressions regarding social, aesthetic, and political codes.
Characteristic of this book is the notion that many exciting genres
make up cult films-including horror, sci-fi, fantasy, film noir,
and black comedy. Further, the book reaches out to several foreign
film directors over the decades in order to view cult films as an
intentional art form. Political and ideological controversies are
covered; arresting back-story details that lend perspective on a
film fill out the analysis and the historic framework for many film
titles. The book, by emphasizing the condensed survey over decades
and by choosing outstanding titles, differs from other general
studies on cult films.
