Content Language - English Category - PERFORMING ARTS / Film / Genres / Horror PERFORMING ARTS / Film / History & Criticism PERFORMING ARTS / Film / Direction & Production Product Description - What is folk horror and how culturally significant is it This collection is the first study to address these questions while considering the special importance of British cinema to the genre's development. The book presents political and aesthetic analyses of folk horror's uncanny landscapes and frightful folk. It places canonical films like Witchfinder General 1968, The Blood on Satan's Claw 1971 and The Wicker Man 1973 in a new light and expands the canon to include films like the sci-fi horror Doomwatch 1970-72 and the horror documentary Requiem for a Village 1975 alongside filmmakers Ken Russell and Ben Wheatley. A series of engrossing chapters by established scholars and new writers argue for the uniqueness of folk horror from perspectives that include the fragmented national history of pagan heresies and Celtic cultures, of peasant lifestyles, folkloric rediscoveries and postcolonial decline. -- .
