I'm taking my time with this one, reading a chapter after I watch the film that chapter is showcasing. The Haunted World is evenly divided between film synopsis, film review, and a very generous amount of film stills and posters.
I'm really enjoying how the reviews are so in-depth and well-researched. in addition to a detailed synopsis, each film's chapter has a thoughtful overview of that film's style and themes, their relation to other films, how audiences reacted, and descriptions of alternate versions. Howarth also has actual opinions about each of the films, while still worshipping at the Bava altar.
