Because, Rebekah Owens Argues, Just As Banquo In Polanski's Film Holds Up A Series Of Mirrors That Reflect Images Of His Successors That Trace Back To His Own Son Fleance, So Subsequent Milestones In The Genre Show Their Lineage To This Work, Their Originator Polanski Had Previously Made Repulsion (1965) And Rosemary's Baby (1968), So He Was Fully Aware Of The Conventions Of The Horror Genre And This Film Provides Clues To His Own Horror Lexicon This Book Demonstrates How Macbeth Can Be Read As Part Of The British Folk Tradition, Strengthening The Reading Of The Film As A Horror Movie In Its Own Right Through Its Links To The Wicker Man (1973), Blood On Satan's Claw (1971), And Witchfinder General (1968) Then Argues The Case For Its Recognition As A Horror Movie Even Further, By Connecting It To The Later American Horror Classics, Such As Halloween (1978) It Also Explores The Popular Associations Made Between The Film And Polanski's Own Life, Arguing That They Endorse The View Of The Film As A Horror This Book Represents The First Serious Attempt To Regard Polanski's Macbeth As A Horror Film In Its Own Right, And Not Exclusively As One Of A Multitude Of Ongoing Shakespeare Film Adaptations Binding:Paperback, PaperbackPublisher:Not AvailablePublication Date:2017-04-30Weight:0.25 lbsDimensions:0.4'' H x 7.4'' L x 5.4'' WNumber of Pages:120Language:English
