520 _aDiscusses how contemporary women directors have appropriated horror aesthetics, enlarging its generic scope and expanding its emotional spectrumRevisits themes and concerns of the horror genre, from the perspective of women directorsIncludes case studies of important female directed films, including Raw, Evolution and AtlanticsRevisits feminist themes such as female agency, gender and race relations and affect by returning to the work of feminist directors of the 1970s and 1980s (not necessarily considered as generic horror films), in comparison to contemporary women directorsIncludes women of colour as well as white women directors, thus acknowledges both differences of the specific ethnic and social political contexts and shared concernsSince the turn of the millennium, a growing number of female filmmakers have appropriated the aesthetics of horror for their films. In this book, Patricia Pisters investigates contemporary women directors such as Ngozi Onwurah, Claire Denis, Lucile Hadžihalilović and Ana Lily Amirpour, who put ‘a poetics of horror’ to new use in their work, expanding the range of gendered and racialized perspectives in the horror genre.Exploring themes such as rage, trauma, sexuality, family ties and politics, New Blood in Contemporary Cinema takes on avenging women, bloody vampires, lustful witches, scary mothers, terrifying offspring and female Frankensteins. By following a red trail of blood, the book illuminates a new generation of women directors who have enlarged the general scope and stretched the emotional spectrum of the genre.
