When you think of British horror films, you might picture the classic Hammer Horror movies, with Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, and blood in lurid technicolor. Yet British horror has undergone an astonishing change and resurgence in the twenty-first century, with films that capture instead the anxieties of post-Millennial viewers. Tracking the revitalization of the British horror film industry over the past two decades, media expert Steven Gerrard also investigates why audiences have flocked to these movies. To answer that question, he focuses on three major trends: “hoodie horror” movies responding to fears about Britain’s urban youth culture; “great outdoors” films where Britain’s forests, caves, and coasts comprise a terrifying psychogeography; and psychological horror movies in which the monster already lurks within us. Offering in-depth analysis of numerous films, including The Descent, Outpost, and The Woman in Black, this book takes readers on a lively tour of the genre’s highlights, while provocatively exploring how these films reflect viewers’ gravest fears about the state of the nation. Whether you are a horror buff, an Anglophile, or an Anglophobe, The Modern British Horror Film is sure to be a thrilling read.

Independent producer-director Pete Walker is probably the best-known of the exploitation pioneers who mined the seedier side of the British film industry in the 1960s and 1970s. After starting out in sexploitation with the likes of 'School For Sex' and 'Four Dimensions of Greta' he moved into horror in the early 70s with script regular David McGillivray to fill gap vacated by Hammer, Amicus and the rest, as the industry went inot decline. This book offers an in-depth appraisal of Walker's work and examines his legacy to the extremes of British film.
