This book traces how and why the subgenre has continued to endure, even as we enter a post-cinematic landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThrough three distinct sections, \u003cem\u003eBlood on the Lens\u003c\/em\u003e proposes key observations on the found footage horror subgenre. She questions how these films engage with national trauma, the common themes of this body of films and how they relate to wider anxieties. In addition, McMurdo investigates the effect various cultural movements have had on the aesthetics of found footage horror, how these films position their spectator and encourage an active viewing mode, and how the line between fiction and fact is blurred both paratextually and within the films themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shellie McMurdo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474482082\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474482080\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/13\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Shellie McMurdo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075711594751,"sku":"9781474482080","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_71aae563-55bb-436c-b7ee-a1f41cb8d8f5.jpg?v=1685460990","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/blood-on-the-lens-shellie-mcmurdo-9781474482080","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
