[A] well-edited collection of essays...[American Twilight] offers a
nice mixture of close readings of individual or small groups of
[Tobe Hooper's] films and discussions of the machinations of the
film and television industry and its relationship to the auteur in
the period from 1974 to 2006. If one of the editors' goals was to
encourage readers to see Hooper's less-known works, they certainly
succeed...All of the contributors elevate the director from the
realm of forgotten genius...Highly recommended.-- "CHOICE"

[Tobe Hooper's] subversive and fascinating body of work...is given
its due in editors Kristopher Woofter and Will Dodson's American
Twilight...[Hooper is] an artist who--lacking unlimited Hollywood
resources--still found ways to mine his obsessions late into his
fraught career...Those who agree will find American Twilight
indispensable.-- "Film International" (12/14/2021 12:00:00 AM)
In American Twilight, Hooper is given the attention he deserves as
a contributor to the canon of horror as a genre for his exploration
of an 'America in crisis.'-- "No Film School" (10/29/2021 12:00:00
