They were subaltern films (of a sort), yes. Disruptive too. The industry refused to acknowledge them, and indeed hardly knew what to make of the movies, but the audience took to them with gusto. All these decades later, the family name remains synonymous with horror movies in India even among those who have never watched a Ramsay flick. But who were these film-makers really? Where did they come from? What impelled them? How did they pull it off? Don t Disturb the Dead is the story of their cinema, their methods and madnesses, about horror movies as a business model, and more. It is also an open-minded and affectionate ode to the disreputable Ramsay films, and to a family that was once a genre in itself. Through interviews with members of the family, the people they worked with, and through archival material on their work, the book traces the legend of the Ramsay brothers one of the most fascinating families in cinema anywhere and one whose contribution to cinema deserves to be recognized. 600 10 $a Ramsay, Deepak. 600 10 $a Ramsay, Tulsi, $d 1944- 600 10 $a Ramsay, Shyam. 600 00 $a Keshu. 600 14 $a Ramsay, Amit 600 14 $a Ramsay, Arjun 600 14 $a Ramsay, Gangu 600 14 $a Ramsay, Kavita 600 14 $a Ramsay, Mayur (Aryeman) 600 14 $a Ramsay, Namrata 600 14 $a Ramsay, Saasha 600 14 $a Ramsay, Kumar 650 0 $a Horror films $z India $x History and criticism $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Fantasy films $z India $x History and criticism $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Science fiction films $z India $x History and criticism $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Horror films. 650 0 $a Motion picture producers and directors. 651 0 $a India $x Motion picture producers and directors. 651 0 $a India $x Horror films. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180710105652.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6B7C7F06580511E8A8F83C5097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
