"Excellent" --The Dark Side
"In taking an approach that considers the various industrial changes and circumstances which surround the contemporary films in question, Walker's work stands as an excellent British counterpart to recent academic work on contemporary American horror films by Richard Nowell (Blood Money (2011) and Merchants of Menace (2014)), Mark Bernard (Selling the Splat Pack (2015)) and Steve Jones (Torture Porn (2013)). As a result, Walker's work makes important inroads into the business of making horror films in a contemporary British context, as well as providing detailed and insightful textual analysis of key texts from the past decade or so of film-making." -- Nia Edwards-Behi, Journal of British Cinema and Television

Considering high-profile theatrical releases, including The Descent, Shaun of the Dead and The Woman in Black, as well as more obscure films such as The Devil's Chair, Resurrecting the Street Walker and Cherry Tree Lane, Contemporary British Horror Cinema provides a thorough examination of British horror film production in the twenty-first century.

This was another wonderful book written by a very talented author named Catherine Palmer! I always get so involved in her books that I cannot put it down until I read the last page (although sometimes I have to). But, because of the complexity, it requires some instruction for effective use. It's the kind of book you'll keep at arm's length long after you've worked through it for the first time.
