Traditions in World Cinema General Editors: Linda Badley and R. Barton Palmer Founding Editor: Steven Jay Schneider This series introduces diverse and fascinating movements in world cinema. Each volume concentrates on a set of films from a different national, regional or, in some cases, cross-cultural cinema which constitute a particular tradition. SPANISH HORROR FILM Antonio Lázaro-Reboll 'Although it has long been an important presence in European cinema, Spanish horror has never received the critical attention it merits. Antonio Lázaro-Reboll's diligently researched book rectifies that situation. Lázaro-Reboll provides an insightful account of the contexts out of which Spanish horror cinema emerges and offers compelling discussions of key films, ranging from the formative work of Jesús Franco and Paul Naschy/Jacinto Molina to the contemporary Rec and The Orphanage.' Professor Peter Hutchings, Northumbria University Spanish Horror Film is the first in-depth exploration of the genre in Spain from the 'horror boom' of the late 1960s and early 1970s to the most recent films in the current renaissance of Spanish genre cinema. The book thoroughly examines Spanish horror cinema's production, circulation, regulation and consumption and the cult contexts of its reception. The examination of this rich cinematic tradition is firmly located in relation to broader historical and cultural shifts in recent Spanish history, and as an important part of the European horror film tradition and the global culture of psychotronia.
