John Ford's Stagecoach (Cambridge Film Handbooks) par Barry Keith Grant
This is a critical study of John Ford's classic film STAGECOACH, with a variety of essays from critics and academics. While the academic prose can be occasionally irredeemably rococo and thus intelligible mainly to academics, the book nevertheless contains useful insights and revelations about this milestone of American film.
List of essays:
The Mummy's Pool. Bruce Kawin
Horror films, nightmares and prophetic dreams. The Day the Earth Stood Still, The Thing from Another World, The Wolf Man, Vampyr, The Mummy, The Mummy's Hand and The Mummy's Ghost.
Faith and Idolatry in the Horror Film. J. P. Telotte
V. F. Perkins in 'Film as Film' suggested we redirect attention to the movie as it is seen, by shifting the emphasis back from creation to perception. Here two sides of the visual process are considered. The normal audience experience of the genre, and the focus on perception within the structure of one film - Psycho.
Conditions of Pleasure in Horror Cinema. Dennis Giles
Reception theory and fetishism in relation to horror films.
Monster Movies: a Sexual Theory. Walter Evans
The Wolf Man, Dracula and Frankenstein.
The Aesthetics of Fright. Morris Dickstein
Horror films work best when they remain simple and fundamental, like Halloween and Night of the Living Dead, which have the timeless aura of the early genre classics.
The Gothic: A Literary Genre's Transistion to Film. Charlene Bunnell
The Haunting and The Shining.
Subgenres in Horror Pictures: The Pentagram, Faust and Philoctetes. Joseph Reed
The Wolf Man picture, the Frankenstein movie and the Mad Doctor movie.
