Description

Film poster art and design from Japan is renowned as being among the most striking and dynamic in the world, with kanji logograms adding an extra dimension of graphic integration for the Western eye.

CINEGRAPHIC SCREAMS presents 150 of the very best horror film posters created in Japan in the latter decades of the 20th century, the peak years of creativity for this art-form. This volume focuses on posters designed to promote international productions.

The artworks are reproduced in full-colour, full-page format, with films ranging from classic American horror to gothic Hammer phantasies and gore-splattered Italian cine-nightmares of cannibalism and zombie mayhem.
