Your favourite disaster movies turned into case studies for the various ways in which all we are all doomed
Can you really die from insomnia? How would a tree kill an antelope? Why should you stay out of the water? And – particularly relevant in the current climate – why should we be terrified of pig farms?
These are just a few of the questions answered in Hollywood Wants to Kill You. In the book, Rick Edwards and Dr Michael Brooks take some of the greatest disaster movies ever made and turn them into case studies for the various ways that all we are all doomed.
