Aprašymas

This book focuses on hybrid horror films that appear in Latin America from the 1980s through the 21st century, tracing the elements that compose this cinema and analyzing how the political uses of horror vary across the continent. The films analyzed illustrate how displaced elements from foreign literary and filmic traditions are resituated in Latin American regional contexts capable of social and political criticism. From the ghost-centered films of the Andean regions influenced by Asian horror cinema, to the Splatter movies created in the Southern Cone reminiscent both of American Gore films, this book creates a cultural and political geography of Latin American contemporary horror film. Emphasizing the transformative powers of hybridization and the uses of cinematic horror as metaphor for the horrors of social and political reality, this book addresses the subsequent outward movements of many of these Latin American films after being reinterpreted and recoded.
