Yet British horror has undergone an astonishing change and resurgence in the twenty-first century, with films that capture instead the anxieties of post-Millennial viewers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Tracking the revitalization of the British horror film industry over the past two decades, media expert Steven Gerrard also investigates why audiences have flocked to these movies. To answer that question, he focuses on three major trends: \"hoodie horror\" movies responding to fears about Britain's urban youth culture; \"great outdoors\" films where Britain's forests, caves, and coasts comprise a terrifying psychogeography; and psychological horror movies in which the monster already lurks within us. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Offering in-depth analysis of numerous films, including \u003ci\u003eThe Descent\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOutpost\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Woman in Black\u003c\/i\u003e, this book takes readers on a lively tour of the genre's highlights, while provocatively exploring how these films reflect viewers' gravest fears about the state of the nation.
