The popular and critical successes of films like The Sixth Sense
and The Ring and its sequels in the late 1990s led to an impressive
international explosion of scary films dealing with ghosts. This
book takes a close look at a number of those films from different
countries, including the United States, Japan, South Korea, Spain,
and Great Britain. Making a crucial distinction between these
atmospheric films and conventional horror, Michael Walker argues
that they are most productively seen as ghost melodramas, which
opens them up to a powerful range of analytic tools from the study
of melodrama, including, crucially, psychoanalysis.
