Abstract: A 2018 piece in the New York Times by film critic Jason Zinoman announced that we are "in the midst of a golden age of grown-up horror."1 The laudatory quality of Zinoman's essay and his emphasis on the genre's ostensibly newfound sophistication and focus on adult anxieties resonate with many other assessments of horror cinema of the past decade. Echoing Zinoman's phrasing, Robin Means Coleman titled a 2019 piece for The Conversation "We're in a Golden Age of Black Horror Films" and suggests that "the horror genre is maturing and becoming more imaginative and inclusive."2 These and related essays consistently cite an emergent canon of contemporary work in the genre: The Babadook (Kent, 2014), A Girl Walks Home ...

Abstract: Sometimes facing your fears isn't enough. You have to scrutinize them. In an attempt to understand my own nightmares—and the ones that shaped our culture—my first book, Shock Value, published a decade ago, examined one of the great eras of modern film: the revolutionary scary movies made between the late 1960s through the end of the following decade.1 I called them the New Horror. To tell the story of its artists—masters such as Wes Craven, Tobe Hooper, John Carpenter, and Dan O'Bannon among many others—I interviewed them about their work with an ear sensitive to what this group shared. One surprisingly common thing I discovered was an embarrassment about working in the genre itself. To the people who made ... Read More

Abstract: There is no doubt that film critic Jason Zinoman put his finger on the pulse of something significant occurring in the horror genre when he published "Home Is Where the Horror Is" in the New York Times in 2018. The critical and commercial success of films such as The Babadook (Jennifer Kent, 2014), Get Out (Jordan Peele, 2017), and Hereditary (Ari Aster, 2018) supports Zinoman's sense that "grown-up horror" was experiencing a "golden age," one where "adult anxieties" such as loss, grief, and mourning can take center stage in a genre that has tended to approach these issues only obliquely.1 In the years since Zinoman's important critical intervention, related discussions of "elevated horror" and even "posthorror" ...

Abstract: As a child, I escaped my nightmares by jumping through a dollhouse chimney. If I could just locate the dollhouse in my dream world and drop down its chimney like a tiny (Jewish) Santa, the horrors would cease, and I would wake up to my own real bedroom. The dollhouse in question did not have particular significance for me in waking life. Handed down by a friend of my parents, it was a replica of a suburban home, exotic to me because I lived in a small apartment in Manhattan. I didn't play with it much, preferring instead the glossier, hot-pink world of Barbie. But for some reason, when I was asleep the dollhouse became the most desirable object in my dream world, providing a release from horror through ... Read More

Abstract: It might seem counterintuitive to begin a discussion of grown-up horror with a film paradigmatic of a horror cycle so indelibly associated with adolescent characters and audiences: John Carpenter's iconic slasher Halloween (1978).1 But I will suggest that the minimal presence of literal adults throughout the film facilitates a mode of cinematic vision I term the "protective gaze," which gives formal expression to a set of distinctively adult fears and anxieties about child endangerment that took hold during the period of the film's long theatrical run. I will then discuss the Black Mirror episode "Arkangel" (Jodie Foster, 2017) as exemplary of how some recent grown-up horror positions adult mothers as protagonists ... Read More

Abstract: Taking a wide-angle view of the current horror media landscape, it would not be an exaggeration to assert that we are in the midst of a [Black] horror boom.1 From breakthrough films such as Jordan Peele's Get Out (2017), Us (2019), and Nope (2022) to Misha Green's Lovecraft Country (2020–), various episodes of Black Mirror (2011–), Richard Shepard's The Perfection (2018), Dallas Jackson's Thriller (2018), Tate Taylor's Ma (2019), David Rosenthal's Jacob's Ladder (2019), Deon Taylor's The Intruder (2019), Kurtis Harder's Spiral (2019) (which is not to be confused with Darren Lynn Bousman's Saw reboot, Spiral [2021]), Mark Tonderai's Spell (2020), Joe Marcantonio's Kindred (2020), Emmanuel Osei-Kuffour's Black Box ...

Abstract: I hardly know where to look, where to rest my gaze, whom to follow, and how to do so in this blinding sunlight. I've been here before; this is like my first midsommar (summer solstice), in what I thought was a fantasy of Sweden but turned out in some ways to be real or at least a curious affekt (affect) of the people and the place. I remember being in a field adjacent to a series of red summerhouses, everyone was dressed in white, their summer finest. We sang and drank and sang again during a lunch of pickled herring, smoked salmon, fresh potatoes, elderflower juice, and Swedish snaps, all served family style on long tables decorated with fresh flowers. The herring and snaps were new to me, the fish both slimy and ... Read More

Abstract: Niels Niessen's new book Miraculous Realism is a fascinating study of films from the French-speaking part of Belgium (the Wallonia region) and the industrial French north (the city of Lille and the Nord–Pas de Calais region). The book fills an important gap because there is not a significant number of scholarly monographs on Wallonian cinema in English, and regional films within scholarship on French cinema tend to be treated as elements of a national cinema or international auteurist, art house cinema. However, the interest of Niessen's study goes beyond just making a corpus of lesser-known films visible. The book also represents a significant methodological intervention into how to study regional cinemas ... Read More

Abstract: What if we understood cinema as a viewing screen through which images flowed both inward and outward, unconstrained by a chronometrical rhythm, in other words, outside of the indelible ticktack of clocks, the schedule of trains, and the measurable units of a workday' Furthermore, what if we saw the relationship between rhythm and images through a lens that promises to challenge the abstract measure of forms as well as the mechanical and industrial power that is exercised through them' These questions arise from the philosophical terrain that Domietta Torlasco explores in her new book regarding cinema, opening a productive discussion about the ontology of images through examples that abide to neither a chronological ...

Abstract: About twenty years ago, David Bordwell proposed the "modernity thesis" to characterize an emerging trend of scholarship that drew upon the works of Walter Benjamin and Siegfried Kracauer.1 In this "culturalist" school of thought—originating from New York and then prospering at Chicago—cinema originates from and, more importantly, reflects modernity.2 The first claim is widely accepted; the second is, to say the least, fraught and contested. While most scholars can agree that cinema is a modern technologized art, it is difficult to establish a causal relationship between what is onscreen—fast editing, intensified momentum, kaleidoscopic spectacle, you name it—and what circulates in culture. The reason is simple: if ... Read More
