Hong Kong Horror Cinema Edited by Gary Bettinson and Daniel Martin Dumplings stuffed with diabolical fillings. Sword-wielding zombies. Hopping cadavers. Big-head babies.

Hong Kong Horror Cinema Edited by Gary Bettinson and Daniel Martin Dumplings stuffed with diabolical fillings. Sword-wielding zombies. Hopping cadavers. Big-head babies. For decades, Hong Kong cinema has served up images of horror quite unlike those found in other parts of the world. In seminal films such as A Chinese Ghost Story, Rouge, The Eye, Dumplings and Rigor Mortis, the region's filmmakers have pushed the boundaries of genre, cinematic style and bad taste. But what makes Hong Kong horror cinema so utterly unique? Why does it hold such fascination for 'serious' cinephiles and cult fans alike? Hong Kong Horror Cinema is the first English-language study of this delirious and captivating cinematic tradition, offering new insights into the history of Hong Kong horror through case studies of classic films, and with detailed consideration of their aesthetic power, economic significance and cultural impact in both the global and domestic markets. GARY BETTINSON is Senior Lecturer in Film Studies at Lancaster University. DANIEL MARTIN is Associate Professor of Film Studies at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology.
