內容簡介
As any horror fan knows, the genre isn't limited to ghouls, blood, and gore, but is as broad as cinema itself. Discover the haunting pull of 'the other side' in movies like "The Sixth Sense", "Cat People", "Poltergeist" and "Don't Look Now". Brave the perils of nature in "Jaws", "The Birds", and "Alien". Learn that people aren't always as they seem, as in "Dr. Jekyll" and "Mr. Hyde", "Peeping Tom", "Psycho", and "The Shining". Confront evil in human form - "The Last House on the Left", "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer", "Friday the 13th" - and in its purer distillation in "Rosemary's Baby", "The Omen" and "The Exorcist"."101 Horror Films You Must See Before You Die" gives you a thorough appreciation of the genre, because it approaches the subject chronologically. You'll move through gothic classics like James Whale's "The Old Dark House" (1932) and Terence Fisher's "Dracula" (1958), to zombie movies like "Dawn of the Dead" (1978) and "28 Days Later" (2002). All the sub-genres are covered too, from "Eyes Without a Face" (mad scientist), "The Howling" (werewolf), "Nightmare on Elm Street" (slasher), to "The Silence of the Lambs" (serial killer). And you'll learn that it's not just American teenagers who are horror-film fodder. There are classic horror films from Japan ("Onibaba"), Russia("Vij"), Italy ("Suspiria"), France ("Les Diaboliques"), Belgium ("Man Bites Dog"), Germany ("M"), and the Netherlands ("The Vanishing"). Immerse yourself in the most compelling of movie genres. Prepare to be possessed - and whatever you do, don't answer the phone.
