Horror cinema grants bodies and images a precarious hold on sense
and order: from the zombie's gory disintegration to the shaky
visuals of 'found footage' horror, and from the vampire's absent
reflection to the spectacle of shattering glass in the Italian
giallo. Addressing classic horror movies alongside popular and
innovative contemporary works, Visceral Screens investigates how
they have rendered the human form as a media artefact, dramatically
dis-figuring it with optical effects, chromatic shifts, glitches
and audiovisual fragmentation. Conducting their own anatomies of
the screen, cutting into the matter of cinema, horror films revel
in the breakdown of frames, patterns and figures, undermining
subjectivity and meaning.
