Gina Freitag and Andre Loiselle rectify that situation in The Canadian Horror Film with a series of thought-provoking reflections on Canada's \"terror of the soul,\" a wasteland of docile damnation and prosaic pestilence where savage beasts and mad scientists rub elbows with pasty suburbanites, grumpy seamen, and baby-faced porn stars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing chapters on Pontypool, Ginger Snaps, 1970s slasher films, Quebec horror, and the work of David Cronenberg, among many others, The Canadian Horror Film unearths the terrors hidden in the recesses of the Canadian psyche. It examines the highlights of more than a century of Canadian horror filmmaking and includes an extensive filmography to guide both scholars and enthusiasts alike through this treacherous terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47919394652318,"sku":"ING-9781442628502","price":65.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781442628502.jpg?v=1782811187","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781442628502","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
