Description

Global Horror Cinema Today: A Global Perspective This book explores the diverse and thriving horror film industry worldwide. Over the past decade, filmmakers in countries such as the USA, Australia, Israel, Spain, France, Great Britain, Iran, and South Korea have used the horror genre to address emerging fears and anxieties of their cultures. Through an in-depth analysis of 28 international films, including It Follows (2014), Grave (Raw, 2016), Busanhaeng (Train to Busan, 2016), and Get Out (2016), this book examines how the genre has developed globally. Each chapter focuses on a different country, exploring what frightens its people and how horror crosses over to international audiences. By examining these films and their cultural contexts, Global Horror Cinema Today provides a unique insight into the global horror film industry, highlighting its diversity and relevance in today's world.
