Devil’s Advocates collects four volumes of horror film criticism published between 2010 and 2014. Each book provides a focused study of a single landmark horror film, offering production background, critical analysis, and discussion of the film’s place in horror history. The series covers some of the most recognizable titles in the genre.
The four entries here include Let the Right One In, the Swedish vampire film that became an international sensation, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, one of the most controversial and influential horror films ever made, The Silence of the Lambs, which brought horror into the mainstream awards conversation, and Halloween, the film that defined the slasher subgenre. Each volume gives readers a deeper understanding of films they may already know well, uncovering details and connections that casual viewing might miss.
