Combining industry analysis, interviews and detailed textual readings, this book examines the post-millennial revival of British horror cinema. Drawing on key films such as The Descent (2005), Eden Lake (2008) and The Woman in Black (2012), as well as lesser-known productions such as The Devil's Chair (2007), Doghouse (2009) and F (2010), the book analyses the cultural and industrial imperatives at work within (and beyond) these films, and the companies that produced and distributed them.
