{"product_id":"9781476613215","title":"Found Footage Horror Films: Fear and the Appearance of Reality","description":"As the horror subgenre \u003ci\u003edu jour\u003c\/i\u003e, found footage horror’s amateur filmmaking look has made it available to a range of budgets. Surviving by adapting to technological and cultural shifts and popular trends, found footage horror is a successful and surprisingly complex experiment in blurring the lines between quotidian reality and horror’s dark and tantalizing fantasies.    \u003ci\u003eFound Footage Horror Films\u003c\/i\u003e explores the subgenre’s stylistic, historical and thematic development. It examines the diverse prehistory beyond \u003ci\u003eMan Bites Dog\u003c\/i\u003e (1992) and \u003ci\u003eCannibal Holocaust\u003c\/i\u003e (1980), paying attention to the safety films of the 1960s, the snuff-fictions of the 1970s, and to television reality horror hoaxes and mockumentaries during the 1980s and 1990s in particular. It underscores the importance of \u003ci\u003eThe Blair Witch Project\u003c\/i\u003e (1999) and \u003ci\u003eParanormal Activity\u003c\/i\u003e (2007), and considers YouTube’s popular rise in sparking the subgenre’s recent renaissance.","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company, Incorporated Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47126118334704,"sku":"9781476613215","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781476613215_p0.jpg?v=1763608217","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781476613215","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
