This is the first study to explore South Africa both in horror cinema and as a formidable producer of celluloid scares. This book begins with the representation of South Africa as a hub of European settler calm in the ground-breaking mondo documentary Africa Addio (1966), a grueling epic that raises questions about the country's identity that remain potent, and extends to such seventies shockers as House of the Living Dead (1974) and The Demon (1979).

Description
This is the first study to explore South Africa both in horror cinema and as a formidable producer of celluloid scares.
This book begins with the representation of South Africa as a hub of European settler calm in the ground-breaking mondo documentary Africa Addio (1966), a grueling epic that raises questions about the country's identity that remain potent, and extends to such seventies shockers as House of the Living Dead (1974) and The Demon (1979). Also touching on some of the better-known and most controversial films from the country, including The Stick (1988), Dust Devil (1991), Pure Blood (2000) and the international Peter Jackson-produced hit District 9 (2009), this book suggests that the 'rainbow nation' should finally obtain its own rightful place in the canon of wider genre studies and horror film fandom. Concluding with an analysis of the recent boom-period in South African horror cinema, including discussion of such contemporary efforts as the splatter-western hybrid Five Fingers for Marseilles (2017) and the supernatural suspense of The Soul Collector (2019), South Africa in Horror Cinema focuses on ever-changing identities and perspectives and embraces the frequently carnivalesque and grotesque elements of a most unique lineage in shock and awe.EXTRA 10 % discount with code: EXTRA
