Описание: Science fiction, fantasy and horror films have spawned more sequels than any other film genre. While the perhaps overly familiar Dracula and Frankenstein have inspired dozens of additional films, such movies as Quatermass and Francis have also produced several sequels.Over 400 horror, science fiction and fantasy films are analyzed in this comprehensive reference to the genre's sequels, series and remakes. Filmographies are given for each film, providing year of release, studio, running time, cast and credits. This is followed by a plot synopsis, reviews of the work, and a critical analysis.
In 1896, Maxim Gorky declared cinema the Kingdom of Shadows. In its silent, ashen-grey world, he saw a land of spectral, and ever since then cinema has had a special relationship with the haunted and the ghostly. Cinematic Ghosts is the first collection devoted to this subject, including fourteen new essays, dedicated to exploring the many permutations of the movies' phantoms.
Cinematic Ghosts contains essays revisiting some classic ghost films within the genres of horror (The Haunting, 1963), romance (Portrait of Jennie, 1948), comedy (Beetlejuice, 1988) and the art film (Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives, 2010), as well as essays dealing with a number of films from around the world, from Sweden to China. Cinematic Ghosts traces the archetype of the cinematic ghost from the silent era until today, offering analyses from a range of historical, aesthetic and theoretical dimensions.
Описание: Zombies have changed dramatically in the new millennium. They are no longer the comical, shuffling, mindless monsters of George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead (1968). In works such as 28 Days Later… (2002) and World War Z (2013) they are fast, rabid, and absolutely terrifying in large hordes. In Warm Bodies (2013) and In the Flesh (2013-2015), they are thoughtful, sensitive, and capable of ethics and empathy. Audiences of this modern cinematic monster have changed, too, from teenaged camp and gore enthusiasts to broader and more diverse populations around the globe.Zombie stories are continually shifting and evolving to meet fan demands, to challenge genre expectations, and to raise critical questions: What happens when society collapses? What does it mean to be human? What makes a monster? Who survives the zombie (post)apocalypse, and why? What can we learn about gender, genre, and historical context, from the protagonists of zombie films and television? Explore these critical inquires and more, through the close examination of classic and current screen narratives and their often radical representations of the living and the undead, with the support of leading theories from film, genre, and zombie studies.

Описание: What makes you afraid? It may be more than what you think. Horror films have been exploiting our fears almost from the moment movies were invented. Lurking unseen in the corner of horror, however, is something unexpected: the Bible. Sit back while the curtain parts and watch as the Good Book appears in both supporting and starring roles in the most unlikely of cinema genres.
Описание: This book argues that, in its increasing use of hand-held techniques, the motifs of surveillance and found footage and the trope of `digital haunting`, contemporary horror cinema reflects - and exploits - the anxieties of our age.
Описание: The theme of the double has inspired works by E.T.A. Hoffmann, Poe, de Maupassant, Dostoevsky and others, and has been the basis for classic films in the genres of mystery, horror and science fiction. This theme is examined in film noir and neo-noir, with a special emphasis on the works of Alfred Hitchcock.

These films speak to the fears and anxieties of American youth during one of its most prosperous eras.
