Cinema Horror

by Jonathan Penner (Editor), Steven Jay Schneider, Paul Duncan (Editor)

L’horror è un genere cinematografico molto popolare e geograficamente eterogeneo; si potrebbe quasi dire che ogni Paese produca, in un modo o nell’altro, film horror. Portando sulla scena le paure più profonde e archetipiche, e al tempo stesso facendo leva su specifiche ansie sociali e culturali, l’horror è un genere senza tempo e tuttavia profondamente radicato nel luogo e nel tempo a cui appartiene. Questo volume, ricco di immagini provenienti dall’archivio di David Del Valle, esplora questo genere dal punto di vista tematico, storico ed estetico.

okay this is the edition i read but not sure why there's text in italian. oh well.

kind of enjoyed it, kind of didn't. wouldn't recommend getting this outside of the library unless you're a really die-hard fan of the genre. oh, and note to the editors: the shark in jaws is not "phallic and vaginal", it's a shark. A SHARK.

Awesome coffee table book that’s great for any casual, horror fan. Information doesn’t dive too deep into movies or themes, rather a general thematic overview.
