Exploitation Retrospect<\/strong> was a long running digest-sized ‘zine that was pretty small (page wise) but came out fairly frequently. \u00a0The writing was very well done and witty; an enjoyable read. \u00a0The name makes it sound like another underground extreme horror\/ exploitation\/ grindhouse type ‘zine, but that’s a little misleading because it mostly covered action and horror movies (mainstream and more offbeat ones) and alternative\/ punk\/ “college rock” music. \u00a0Sometimes it included other commentary such as book reviews or political commentary (usually with a somewhat (but not overly) conservative bend to it).<\/p>\n

This issue has an interview with Zoe\u00a0(Ms. 45<\/em>) Lund, the editor’s ‘Best (and worst) of 1992’ lists, a DANZIG show review, a Sin City<\/strong> comic review, movie, music, and ‘zine reviews, letters (including one from early horror ‘zine publisher Dave Szurek sharing his disgust (shared by the ER<\/strong> editor) for Henry Rollins and a dislike for Alan Funt and Candid Camera<\/em> (which ER<\/strong> had an article about in a previous issue) as being an intrusive bully (one wonders how horrified he must be by the current state of reality television and privacy invasion)), and a political article (“American Me”) that makes some good points but still comes across as sounding a bit like your kind of rednecky annoying old uncle bitching about the state of the world, and seems a little out of place in an exploitation movie ‘zine that favors punk rock.<\/p>\n

But overall ER<\/strong> was a very entertaining read and another fixture in the underground movie ‘zine community.<\/p>\n
