BOOK REVIEW: If Chins Could Kill by Bruce Campbell

If Chins Could Kill: Confessions Of A B Movie Actor
Author: Bruce Campbell


 When I first picked up this book, I wasn't too sure what to think. I'm not one to follow the herd and I don't really care to know all about someone's personal life. I don't give a flip about who's fucking who and who snorted what up their nose. Thank god this wasn't one of those...

 This book starts off with a little about Bruce's childhood, then gets into his teens and talks about all the old super 8 movies him and his friends made. There are quite a few chapters on The Evil Dead, but not just the filming of it. He covers a lot of the process from the casting, filming post-production and more.

 There are also quite a few chapters on his work on other "B" movies and his work on television. This paperback re-release also contains added material written after his "Chins Across America" book signing tour.

 This thing is packed with photos and also includes interview snippets from his pals like Sam Raimi. Couldn't put this thing down once I got started. Definitely check this out!

Verdict: * * * *
