Title: Doctoral dissertation--and a poor one at that
Review: Having reviewed several doctoral dissertations and written my own, I am aware how arduous it can be to plow through one as a reader. Brottman's is no exception. Furthermore, the research tends to be sloppy. Her plot summary for The Hills Have Eyes, for example, contains so many errors that it is impossible to believe she watched the film. Her committee obviously didn't.It's sad that this was published instead of Steve Bissette's work on the same topic.
Is the review positive or negative?
