Course Description
British cinema is often celebrated for its social realism, yet has made significant and influential contributions to the worlds of horror, fantasy, and science fiction. From the Gothic tradition of Dracula to nightmarish visions of London in 28 DAYS LATER and the spectacular popular fantasies of DOCTOR WHO and HARRY POTTER, this course investigates this alternative history or "repressed underside" of British cinema and the ways in which these films have responded to their social and cultural production contexts. This course includes field trips to sites of importance in London, such as Highgate Cemetery.
