South African Horror Cinema: From Apartheid to District 9 and Beyond (Global Exploitation Cinemas)

"This book focuses on ever-changing identities and perspectives and embraces the frequently carnivalesque and grotesque elements of a most unique lineage in macabre motion pictures. It includes discussions of a wide range of horror films, including: Jannie Totsiens (Jans Rautenbach, 1970), The Demon (Percival Rubens, 1979), District 9 (Neill Blomkamp, 2009), The Tokoloshe (Jerome Pikwane, 2018), Fried Barry (Ryan Kruger, 2020) and beyond, to argue that South Africa should finally obtain its rightful place in the canon of wider genre studies and horror cinema fandom"--
