“Corman’s World: Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel” coming to Blu-ray and DVD
We all know and love at least some of the films of the incredibly prolific Roger Corman. Whether you are into science fiction (Forbidden World), horror (Piranha) or just some sleazy women in prison goodness (The Big Doll House), Corman covered it all with gusto. He has produced, or at least had a hand in, nearly 400 exploitation films spanning more than 60 years. Now first time director Alex Stapleton talks to some of the most famous people to come out of Corman’s World in his new documentary coming from Anchor Bay.
