BOOT, Andy - Fragments of Fear: An Illustrated History of British Horror Films

Creation House Press, juni 1996; paperback, ill.; ISBN 1871592356.

Examines a wide range of British horror films and the stories behind them. The early melodramas of Tod Slaughter right through to Hammer and their rivals Tigon and Amicus, plus mavericks like Michael Reeves, sex/horror director Peter Walker and more recent talents such as Clive Barker, director of Hellraiser, are all discussed. Films studied range in scope from the sadism of Peeping Tom to the mutant SF of A Clockwork Orange and the softcore porn/horror of Jose Larraz' Vampyres. Lavishly illustrated throughout, author Andy Boot unravels a tangled history and discovers many little-known gems amid the more familiar images of Hammer, including a wealth of exploitational cinema. Fragments of Fear establishes the British horror movie as a genre which can easily stand up to its more lauded American counterpart in the depth and diversity of its scope.

Steven Spielberg's sci-fi horror movie "Night Skies"; David Lynch's "Ronnie Rocket", Terry Gilliam's "Watchmen"; and Ridley Scott's "I am Legend" - these are just some of the legendary sci-fi films covered in this book. Legendary because none of them ever actually made it to the screen. Drawing on many interviews with the film-makers involved, this volume tells the tortuous stories of the films that never were, and reveals the details of what we could have seen. The "Thunderbirds" movie; "Aliens versus Predator"; James Cameron's "Spider-Man" and "Avatar"; Stanley Kubrick's "Childhood's End"; Kevin Smith's "Superman Lives"; and Philip Kaufman's "Star Trek: Planet of the Titans" - all these projects and more are covered in this book.

NEWMAN, Kim (red.) - Science Fiction/horror Reader: A Sight and Sound Reader

BFI (British Film Institute), november 2003; paperback, 335 p., ill.; prijs £13.99; ISBN 0851708978.

What in contemporary cinema is a horror film or a science fiction movie? "Blade Runner" (1982) is as much film-noir as science fiction - and it is a literary adaptation. The remake of "The Mummy" (1999) is more an effects fantasy or action/adventure than a straightforward horror. Whatever your viewpoint, the best of these movies have generated cults and imitations and the worst have a wonderfully perverse appeal all of their own. This volume, part of the Sight and Sound Readers series, provides a diverse overview of trends that have shaped sci-fi/horror since the 1990s. It explores how films like "The Fight Club" and "The Truman Show" have impinged on more traditional territory and have tested the limits of conventional understandings of two central film genres. Topics covered include: vampire movies, body horror, the nuclear "threat", childhood terror, artificial worlds, and postmodern horror. The book also takes a fresh look at such classic movies as "Rosemary's Baby", "Psycho", "Halloween", "Nosferatu" and "Blade Runner", as well as coving 90s highlights such as the "Scream" series, "I know What You Did Last Summer", "Strange Days", "Existenz" and "Cube".

Routledge, an imprint of Taylor & Francis Books Ltd, december 2003; paperback, 208 p., ill.; prijs £13.99; ISBN 0415235626.

This title brings together key articles to provide a comprehensive resource for students of horror cinema. Mark Jancovich's introduction traces the development of horror film from "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" to "The Blair Witch Project", and outlines the main critical debates.

Sections include: theorising horror (traces attempts to identify the defining features of the genre and account for the enduring appeal of horror films); gender, sexuality and the horror film (explores masculinity and feminity in horror films, focussing on female victims and heroes, issues of the gaze and the monstrous, and queer readings); producing horrors (looks at the context in which films are made, from James Whale's "Frankenstein" to the Hammer studio, tracing horror's relationship to both "low culture" and avant-garde cinema); consuming fears (considers the changing audience of horror, studying female horror fans, the critical reception of "The Silence of the Lambs, and exploring how "Psycho changed cinema going. It includes essays by: Harry M. Benshoff, Rhona Berenstein, Noel Carroll, Brigid Cherry, Carol Clover, Barbara Creed, Paul O'Flinn, Joan C. Hawkins, Peter Hutchings, Mark Jancovich, Andrew Tudor, Linda Williams and Robin Wood.
