Caligari’s Heirs: The German Cinema of Fear After 1945

A dozen contributions from international scholars critically examine various German horror films from the early postwar years to the present day. Themes addressed include (for example) the connections between the German Autorenfilm and horror cinema, and the influence of commercial American movies on the genre. Interviews with three directors--J繹rg Buttgereit, Robert Sigl, and Nico Hoffmann--complete the volume. Hantke teaches English at Sogang U. in Seoul, South Korea.
