GMDS 35101 - Horror and Mystery Film

Course Credit: 1
Maximum Credit: 0
HORROR AND MYSTERY FILM This course traces the development and popularity of two popular film genres, horror and mystery. While horror film explores our deepest personal anxieties and our most profound social fears, mystery films offer to escape to the world of crime and murder. As a result, while horror film tells us more about ourselves and our society than any other film genre, mystery films intrigue us with human psychology. This course is designed to provide a survey of horror and mystery films. This course applies the language of film analysis, and we will examine the social and cultural dimensions of the “fear” and “crime” response that horror and mystery films represent. Prerequisite(s): GMDS-11000, GMDS-12000, GMDS-13000, GMDS-14000, or COMM-11100
