Reviews

David Roche clearly knows the cycle of recent horror remakes better than anyone else. In Making and Remaking Horror in the 1970s and 2000s, he provides an exhaustive account of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, The Hills Have Eyes, Dawn of the Dead, and Halloween and the originals upon which they are based. Roche's work is likely to find its place among the numerous books on the horror genre as the authoritative text on horror remakes.--Barry Keith Grant, Brock University, Canada, author of 100 Science Fiction Films and Invasion of the Body Snatchers and editor of The Dread of Difference: Gender and the Horror Film
