While those horror bedfellows are now accepted as classics of British cinema, Piers Haggard's film remains undervalued, ironically so, given that it was Haggard who coined the term 'folk horror' in relation to his film. In this Devil's Advocate, David Evans-Powell explores the place of the film in the wider context of the folk horror sub-genre; its use of a seventeenth-century setting (which it shares with contemporaries such as Witchfinder General and Cry of the Banshee) in contrast to the generic nineteenth-century locales of Hammer; the influences of contemporary counter-culture and youth movement on the film; the importance of localism and landscape; and the film as an expression of a wider contemporary crisis in English identity (which can also be perceived in Witchfinder General, and in contemporary TV serials such as Penda's Fen)."-- $c provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 111-116). 505 0 $a Synopsis -- Introduction -- Production and reception -- A green and (un)pleasant land -- Nature and civilisation -- Agents of order -- Anarchy in the UK -- Bibliography. 630 00 $a Blood on Satan's claw (Motion picture) 650 0 $a Horror films $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a Horror films. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00960370 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 830 0 $a Devil's advocates. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020546.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7F54C50A8FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
