The Dread of Difference Zusammenfassung

The Dread of Difference: Gender and the Horror Film Barry Keith Grant

The Dread of Difference is a classic. Few film studies texts have been so widely read and so influential. It's rarely on the shelf at my university library, so continuously does it circulate. Now this new edition expands the already comprehensive coverage of gender in the horror film with new essays on recent developments such as the Hostel series and torture porn. Informative and enlightening, this updated classic is an essential reference for fans and students of horror movies.-Stephen Prince, editor of The Horror Film and author of Digital Visual Effects in Cinema: The Seduction of Reality

An impressive array of distinguished scholars . . . gazes deeply into the darkness and then forms a Dionysian chorus reaffirming that sexuality and the monstrous are indeed mated in many horror films.-Choice

An extremely useful introduction to recent thinking about gender issues within this genre.-Film Theory

The Dread of Difference Bewertungen

These essays are highly intelligent, yet also highly readable, and because of that, the book comes highly recommended. It's a fantastic, meaty-thick collection as is, but also a good gateway for cinephiles who haven't yet dared make the leap into reading film criticism, as opposed to the mere 'movie review.' * Flick Attack *
