From the cheaply made tax-shelter films of the 1970s to the latest wave of contemporary eco-horror, Canadian horror cinema has rarely received much critical attention. Gina Freitag and Andr Loiselle rectify that situation in The Canadian Horror Film with a series of thought-provoking reflections on Canadas terror of the soul, a wasteland of docile damnation and prosaic pestilence where savage beasts and mad scientists rub elbows with pasty suburbanites, grumpy seamen, and baby-faced porn stars. Featuring chapters on Pontypool, Ginger Snaps, 1970s slasher films, Quebec horror, and the work of David Cronenberg, among many others, The Canadian Horror Film unearths the terrors hidden in the recesses of the Canadian psyche. It examines the highlights of more than a century of Canadian horror filmmaking and includes an extensive filmography to guide both scholars and enthusiasts alike through this treacherous terrain.
