"For a few years after this book was published, Ellison continued to write a film criticism column for "The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction" but these have yet to be compiled into book form.In his review for the "New York Times", Robert Moss wrote, "In contrast to the detached, impersonal tone of the average film critic, Mr. Ellison pronounces almost exclusively at the top of his voice...His style routinely mixes a standard critical idiom with esoteric vocabulary, slang, a liberal use of obscenities and many homemade coinages."
