Review Quotes: "At long last, a criminally-neglected aspect of film history is illuminated by Heidi Honeycutt's incisively detailed chronicle of the continuing contributions of women filmmakers to the development of horror and exploitation movies. Names both well-known and obscure dot the landscape of the mostly low-budget productions surveyed here, which have often been tarred with the "psychotronic" label. Honeycutt knows her stuff, and the wealth of information is fascinating. This is a major work." - Joe Dante, director of Gremlins (1984) and The Howling (1981)
