This book takes a close look at a number of those films from different countries, including the United States, Japan, South Korea, Spain, and Great Britain. Making a crucial distinction between these atmospheric films and conventional horror, Michael Walker argues that they are most productively seen as ghost melodramas, which opens them up to a powerful range of analytic tools from the study of melodrama, including, crucially, psychoanalysis.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46931145031831,"sku":"9781041182986","price":3902.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781041182986.webp?v=1771611448","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/modern-ghost-melodramas-what-lies-beneath-9781041182986","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
