A lot of reference books that come out cover the classic films, which I’ve never saw as a problem. But when one considers that the year 2000 was already 20 years ago, it does show us (especially us old timers) that there’s two decades of horror films out there since then, there’s a lot of ground to cover. Fans always know the films that came out in certain decades, like the classic horrors of the ’30s, the giant monsters of the ’50s, the Euro-horrors from the ’60s and so on. But when you ask someone about the films past the 2000 mark, the waters get a little muddled. But now, thanks to this new book coming out, maybe we can change all that!

Written by David Flint and Keri O’Shea, Horror Out of Control is a 440 page book that includes reviews of over 400 film titles, all made between the year 2000 and 2020. Not a “best of” guide but an overview of those two decades and the films that were made, from “major cinema releases and franchises to zero-budget shot-on-video obscurities.”

Pre-orders are being taken now, with a release day of this month. It doesn’t look like it is available anywhere besides the publications website HERE. With a price tag of £25.00 (plus postage), this looks to be a nice edition to a horror film fan’s library. Might be a bit pricy for us here in the states, but maybe it will come stateside at some point to make it a little easier on the pocket book. If/when we get a copy, you know we’ll have a review posted in the future!
