The first installment of my series on the German Expressionist movement has landed at Zombie Hamster, and I couldn’t be happier. Big thanks to my boss Colin, who has given me the freedom to go nuts with this most important era of film, and one which I hold very near and dear to my heart.
It’s really not as dull as it may sound; this era was the literal genesis for what we now to be the language of the modern horror film. Next time, we’ll take a look at the first vampire film, and how it carried over to the Golden Age of Hollywood horror.
