Horror Films: United States
built 231 days ago
Precursors of horror films, after the relevant experiments by Edison and Méliès (Hardy 1993: 16-23), were silent movies like DER ANDERE (1912) and DER GOLEM (1914). The uncanniness transported in these films was based mostly on the use of alienated elements of everyday-life, working with shadows and distortions (Andriopoulos 2000: 99-128). This kind of films was very popular in the United States.

Williams, an expert on the cinema of Hong Kong, contributed an essay about that country's so-called "Category 3" horror films: those rated for graphic sex and violence (comparable to the X rating in the United States). In these gory productions, which generally feature serial killers and often throw in cannibalism to boot, brutality seems a natural outgrowth of the crowded conditions borne by the poor in Hong Kong.
