Folk Horror on Film by Kevin J Donnelly
This is the first scholarly collection to focus on the special importance of British cinema to folk horror. The chapters consider the artistic styles, historical contexts, cultural tensions and cinematic fears that distinguish folk horror from other forms of horror and from traditional ways of viewing the folk.'Folk Horror on Film.. helps to fuel fiery if inconclusive arguments about the nature of folk horror amidst scholarly (stone?) circles.'
Journal of British Cinema and Television
'This is an interesting assortment of essays that push forward scholarly understandings of folk horror, offer new
frameworks for conceptualizing this subgenre, and further highlight the value of cinema for the study of new and alternative religiosity.'
