“Nobody — and I mean nobody — dissects and dismembers films as memorably, cleverly and heartlessly.”
—Herschell Gordon Lewis

From Abraxas: Guardian of the Universe to Zoombies — with at least one L.A. AIDS Jabber and a spare Yo-Yo Girl Cop somewhere in between — nearly 1,500 genre and exploitation movies undergo the spotlight and/or scalpel in the fully packed Flick Attack Movie Arsenal: Book One, our first book.

Expect horror, action, sci-fi, comedy, kung fu, sex and mystery, not to mention all seven regrettable Police Academy installments and an alarming number of titles containing exclamation points. (Warning: Do not expect drama. If you want tears, we’ll be happy to kick you in the shins — no deposit, no return.)

Not available online are interviews with Andy Sidaris and Herschell Gordon Lewis, behind-the-scenes looks at the making of Children of the Corn and Stark Fear, plus lists, sidebars, surprises and our exclusive Tweed-O-Matic: Instant Erotic Thriller Title Generator — yours to keep!

Rod Lott has reviewed movies for publications for more than 30 years, including as managing editor of the alt-weekly Oklahoma Gazette, where his film criticism and features were named the state’s best for four years by the Society of Professional Journalists. For 13 years and 37 issues, he published the popular zine Hitch: The Journal of Pop Culture Absurdity, sold worldwide. His work has appeared in Wired, Psychotronic Video, Film International, Something Weird Video releases and several books. He lives in Oklahoma City on purpose.

“Writing reviews that are serious but witty, tough but fair, is a rare art. Rod Lott is a master of that art, and when he writes about film, he’s at the top of his form.”
—Max Allan Collins, author of Road to Perdition and director of Mommy

“Sharp, smart and hilarious, Flick Attack is the perfect antidote for a bad case of the David Denbys.”
—Lou Berney, author of November Road and The Long and Faraway Gone

“With wit and passion, Rod Lott channels the delight of the best cult viewing experiences. His Movie Arsenal is full of new discoveries, with a handful of familiars — always insightful on the flicks that haunt us, for better or worse.”
—Matthew Sorrento, co-editor of Film International

“Online film criticism is something that so many think they can do, but so few do well. Rod Lott is one of the few.”
—Mike White, author of Cashiers du Cinemart and host of The Projection Booth podcast

“As irresistible and indispensable as the ‘sinema’ it covers, Flick Attack strips away the hype and lets you know what’s worth your hard-earned cash. Rod Lott won’t steer you wrong — and the reviews are frequently better than the movies!”
—Dan Taylor, editor of Exploitation Retrospect
