Beskrivning
Ten years after the publication of Style and Form in the Hollywood Slasher Film critic, scholar, and filmmaker Wickham Clayton returned to edit this follow-up to that book. Style and Form in the Hollywood Slasher Film emerged at the start of a new age of critical attention to a subgenre that has been considered critically disreputable, but has maintained significant cultural relevance and popularity. Here is Style and Form in the Slasher Film II: Beyond Hollywood, a volume that turns the attention of film form and style towards films made outside of the Hollywood system, looking not only at the greater United States, but to North America, South America, Africa, Asia, and Europe.Style and Form in the Slasher Film II: Beyond Hollywood brings together an exciting range of scholars, both experienced and new, to revisit well-established case studies, more recent and lesser-examined case studies, and international industries that create movies with formal connections to the slasher subgenre of horror. Furthermore, expanding upon the thesis hinted at in Style and Form in the Slasher Film, this follow-up makes a firmer, clearer argument for the integration of formalist methodologies to explore cultural texts in light of their sociopolitical contexts, arguing that through understanding how these films tell their stories we can better extrapolate what they mean for our political past, present and future both locally and globally.
