Though They Are Often Critically Neglected, British Horror Films Make Up A Significant And Steadily Growing Body Of Genre Works Within A Nationally Grounded Cinema. Deeply Rooted Within The Gothic Tradition, These Posthammer Studio Films Place Their Antagonistic Threats Within Contemporary Britain, Allowing Werewolves To Roam The Moors And Isolated Islanders To Practice Pagan Sacrifice, Hiding A Family Of Cannibals Behind The White Tiled Walls Of The Underground, Or Unleashing A Virulent Plague That Causes Zombies To Stumble Through Middle Class Suburbia. The Juxtaposition Between These Unreal Elements And The Vivid Britishness Of Characters And Locations Has Led To A Collaborative Body Of Work That Examines The Modern Fears Of Contemporary Britain. Accessible To The Students, Tutors, And The General Reader, Beyond Hammer Provides New Critical Readings Of Classic, Contemporary, And Lesser Known Films Of The Posthammer British Horror Canon. Chronologically Ordered, These Chapters Feature New And Engaging Readings Of The Wicker Man, Death Line, An American Werewolf In London, Mary Shelley'S Frankenstein, Hellraiser, 28 Days Later, The Last Horror Movie, Shaun Of The Dead, And The Descent.
