Studies in Terror: Landmarks of Horror Cinema Summary

Studies in Terror: Landmarks of Horror Cinema by Jonathan Rigby

Acclaimed critic and broadcaster Jonathan Rigby brings his trademark wit and insight to bear on 130 of the key moments in screen horror. His scope is wide, ranging from silent masterworks like Nosferatu and The Cabinet of Dr Caligari to such 21st century milestones as The Descent and Let the Right One In. In between, he scrutinises the achievements of Universal in the 1930s and Hammer in the 1960s. Lavishly illustrated, the result is a beautifully presented history of international horror cinema that's as entertaining as it is informative.

Studies in Terror: Landmarks of Horror Cinema Reviews

Rare is the genre-wide, international horror study that is this uniformly enthusiastic and persuasive... Books such as this were made for the ages. - Movie Morlocks Rigby's writing is focused and elegant, his viewpoints presented with clarity and complemented by a well-balanced, cannily illustrated layout... In terms of sheer taste and quality, it's the most important book-length horror film study to emerge in English this past year. - Video Watchdog
