101 Greek films you must die before seeing
Dimitris Koliodimos
Pages: 216

Movies so bad, that death in front of them looks like salvation!
A list (or a... "dictionary") with reviews of the worst movies of Greek cinema. Films from which we – wrongly – expected something else and finally... we got something else! Films most of which have been gilded by critics, leading us into the theater, just to realize how horrible they really are!
And don't laugh; there are many, many bad Greek movies. More than one can imagine. Certainly more than are mentioned in this book. While day by day, dozens more are added to them, from all parts of the world. Some point them out, long before we become their viewers. And we reject them, so as not to find ourselves in the uncomfortable and unpleasant position of having to leave the room!
Explore the dark side of Greek cinema, following in the footsteps of its most horrific film representatives!
