Horror Film Aesthetics: Creating the Visual Language of Fear by Thomas M. Sipos

docperschon's review against another edition

3.0

Despite Sipos’ consistently condescending tone, the opening chapter defining horror is very good. But the further I read, the weaker his arguments became. The concept here is fantastic—look at how horror movies use film language. But in the end, the execution is a bit weak. Still worth a read, as Sipos is often cited in other literature on horror films.
