American Twilight

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

[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

[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.
