From the hilariously dated moralising of anti-drug propaganda vehicle Reefer Madness (1936) to the mind-boggling awfulness of vanity project pioneer Tommy Wiseau’s The Room (2003), audiences have always been drawn to the unintended delights of bad movies. What makes a good bad movie? Why do people seek them out? And why have they seen such a resurgence over the past decade?
In this book, film writer, lecturer and comic Nicko Vaughan, co-creator of the Bad Film Club, presents an affectionate and humorous guide to the movies, the people who make them, the actors who star in them and the audiences who adore them.
