Barry Forshaw provides a definitive,wide-ranging study of the British horror film produced by the Hammer studios and their rivals from the 1940s and 1950s up to the 21st century and the new popularity of the genre.Beginning with a lively discussion of the great literary antecedents,'British Gothic Cinema' discusses the flowering of the genre in the middle of the last century and the headline-grabbing critical and establishment revulsion over the unprecedented levels of violence and sexuality. 'British Gothic Cinema' also explores the rude health of the field and its continuing influence throughout the world in film and television.With enthusiasm and scholarship,Forshaw celebrates the British cinema's long love affair with the Gothic and the macabre,both still preserved key characteristics of modern film and television.
