Quintessence of Terror: Dark Subgenres (2018) - Paperback

by Steve Hutchison (Author)

This book contains lists of quintessential horror movies ranked by simplicity and subdivided by subgenres. The level of simplicity/complexity is calculated by the sum of four classification types: 8 moods, 9 genres, 27 subgenres and 64 antagonists.

Each listed movie includes a list of moods, genres, a synopsis, a review, and eight ratings: stars, story, creativity, acting, quality, rewatchability, creepiness and gimmick.
