Monstrous adaptations
Generic and thematic mutations in horror film
by Edited by Richard Hand and Jay McRoy
The fifteen groundbreaking essays contained in this book address the concept of adaptation in relation to horror cinema. Adaptation is not only a key cultural practice and strategy for filmmakers, but it is also a theme of major importance within horror cinema as a hole. The history of the genre is full of adaptations that have drawn from fiction or folklore, or that have assumed the shape of remakes of pre-existing films. The horror genre itself also abounds with its own myriad transformations and transmutations. The essays within this volume engage with an impressive range of horror texts, from the earliest silent horror films by Thomas Edison and Jean Epstein through to important contemporary phenomena, such as the western appropriation of Japanese horror motifs. Classic works by Alfred Hitchcock, David Cronenberg and Abel Ferrara receive cutting-edge re-examination, as do unjustly neglected works by Mario Bava, Guillermo del Toro and Stan Brakhage.

Höllisches Kino
Über Pasolini und andere
by Wojciech Kuczok, Gabriele Leupold, Dorota Stroinska
Wojciech Kuczok arbeitet seit Jahren als Filmkritiker, an der Verfilmung seines preisgekrönten Erfolgsromans Dreckskerl war er als Kameramann und Drehbuchautor beteiligt. Nun widmet er sich in fünfzehn Essays Filmen, die an Tabus rühren und die Schwelle des Erträglichen überschreiten. Von Pasolini bis Haneke, von Lars von Trier bis Greenaway folgt er der Spur des Bösen in den Bildern. Im anarchischen Impuls eines Pasolini oder Noé, in der antimoralischen Geste sieht er einen Akt der künstlerischen Souveränität, die sich einzig dem Willen zur Wahrhaftigkeit verpflichtet fühlt. Leidenschaftlich verdichtet Kuczok das Nachdenken über die Höllenfahrten im Kino zu Parabeln über elementare Themen wie Liebe, Sexualität und Tod.

Friend Grief and the Military: Band of Friends
by Victoria Noe
“They were killing my friends.” That was how Medal of Honor winner Audie Murphy justified his heroic actions in World War II. As long as there have been wars, men and women in the military have watched their friends die. Experts warn that delaying our grief will complicate our lives. But what about those who have no choice but to delay it until the battle is over? In Friend Grief and The Military: Band of Friends you’ll meet military and non-combatants who struggle with the grief and guilt of losing their friends. You’ll learn, too, in the amazing ways they help each other, that “leave no one behind” is a life-long commitment.
