Variously dubbed 'elevated horror' and 'post-horror,' films such as The Babadook, It Follows, The Witch, It Comes at Night, Get Out, The Invitation, Hereditary, Midsommar, A Ghost Story, and mother! represent an emerging nexus of taste, politics, and style that has often earned outsized acclaim from critics and populist rejection by wider audiences. Post-Horror is the first full-length study of one of the most important and divisive movements in twenty-first-century horror cinema.Case studies include:It FollowsThe WitchThe BabadookGet OutHereditaryMidsommarGoodnight MommyIt Comes at NightThe InvitationI Am the Pretty Thing that Lives in the Housemother!A Dark SongA Ghost Story
