Horror Lab Autopsy

Mon, 24 Jul 2017 15:46:41 GMT

On 6th July 2017, the Guardian newspaper published an article entitled "How Post-Horror Movies are Taking Over Cinema". The article's author (Steve Rose) claimed that a new subgenre is forming: "post-horror". We discuss the notion of "post-horror" with Nia Edwards-Behi who is the co-director of the Abertoir Film Festival and a regular contributor to Warped Perspective (http://warped-perspective.com).

This is the first of a series of shorter episodes - Autopsies - in which we interview specialists about current events and issues in horror.
