Voluptuous Terrors explores classic Italian film poster designs that sprang forth from the post-war period through to the 1980s, focusing on science fiction and the horror genres, often with compositions almost invariably including curvaceous female figures in jeopardy, juxtaposed with the iconography of fantasy and terror.

The visual style of the art work featured in this art book is in the same vein as two other volumes I’ve reviewed previously – Sex And Horror – The Art Of Emanuele Taglietti, and Sex And Horror – The Art Of Alessandro Biffignandi, although this book features less female frontal nudity, and with a stronger focus on science fiction horror. The quality of the art work and composition nonetheless is of exceeding quality.

The bold eroticism of these art works can seldom be found in commercial film posters these days, even those for horror films, and this art book is a great way to appreciate and reminisce an esoteric cinematic visual style for film poster art that has passed on and will never return. Recommended.
