Pages : 42
Book Description
Eighteen-year-old Hazel purchased a home in Fox Cave, Illinois, on Sycamore Lane, with money she'd inherited from her father. Shortly after she moved into the lovely red-brick Colonial dwelling, she'd be awakened by strange sounds coming within the bedroom wall, a music box playing Beethoven, and creaking footsteps. There must be a logical explanation, after all, Hazel didn't believe in ghosts. Did she?But then...a patron visiting her dress shop told Hazel of a gruesome murder that had taken place in the home...

Ghost in the Well
Author: Michael Crandol
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350178756
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
Ghost in the Well is the first study to provide a full history of the horror genre in Japanese cinema, from the silent era to Classical period movies such as Nakagawa Nobuo's Tokaido Yotsuya kaidan (1959) to the contemporary global popularity of J-horror pictures like the Ring and Ju-on franchises. Michael Crandol draws on a wide range of Japanese language sources, including magazines, posters and interviews with directors such as Kurosawa Kiyoshi, to consider the development of kaiki eiga, the Japanese phrase meaning "weird" or "bizarre" films that most closely corresponds to Western understandings of "horror". He traces the origins of kaika eiga in Japanese kabuki theatre and traditions of the monstrous feminine, showing how these traditional forms were combined with the style and conventions of Hollywood horror to produce an aesthetic that was both transnational and peculiarly Japanese. Ghost in the Well sheds new light on one of Japanese cinema's best-known genres, while also serving as a fascinating case study of how popular film genres are re-imagined across cultural divides.
