| Abstract | "This book explores the role of setting in inspiring fear and wonder through audiovisual media. With the primary aim of marrying the spatial turn in cultural and film studies with genre study of horror and Gothic film, Davies explores how different landscapes, spaces and places enable the subject to interact with the terrors they encounter and confront. Case studies include The Devil's Backbone (Guillermo del Toro), [.REC ](Jaume Balagueró), Insensibles (Painless, Juan Carlos Medina), Los cronocrímenes (Time Crimes, Nacho Vigalondo), and El día de la bestia (The Day of the Beast), among others"-- Provided by publisher. |
