Description

Explore the aesthetic paradox of pleasurable fear with Julian Hanich's path-breaking study. This Routledge book examines why we enjoy emotions we would otherwise avoid and why cinema serves as the primary medium for this experience. By analyzing the aesthetic strategies of fear and the viewer's reaction, Hanich provides a deep look into the mechanics of horror and thrillers. The text uses prototypical scenes from iconic films such as Rosemary's Baby, The Silence of the Lambs, Seven, and The Blair Witch Project to ground its theories. Hanich identifies five specific types of fear used in cinema, making this an essential resource for students and scholars of film studies. This volume is part of the Routledge Advances in Film Studies series, offering a detailed investigation into the psychological and aesthetic aspects of the genre.
