Book Presentation:
Award-winning author John Kenneth Muir returns for his fifth "Horror Films of" decade book for McFarland, reviewing 275 horror films that premiered between 2010 and 2019. Tremendous economic uncertainty gripped the country during this decade following the Great Recession as Americans contended with real-life tumult such as foreclosure, falling wages, and government bailouts. Horror films responded with new formats like "elevated horror" and "screen life" films, changing the nature of the genre in the new era of streaming entertainment and cinematic universes.
This meticulous filmography covers a wide array of films with theatrical releases year by year, with each entry containing extensive credits, a synopsis, and detailed commentary. The book concludes with an appendix cataloging genre tropes, and a look at the ten best films of the decade.
