Before 2010, the horror genre in Israel was virtually nonexistent. However, that year marked a significant turning point as a wave of Israeli serial killers, zombies, vampires, and ghosts invaded local screens. The following decade saw a remarkable flourishing of the genre, with young Israeli filmmakers taking the lead.
New Israeli Horror is the first book to comprehensively explore this captivating story. Through in-depth analysis, engaging storytelling, and interviews with the filmmakers, Olga Gershenson delves into the origins, development, and reception of these films. She demonstrates how these works challenge traditional representations of Israel and its people, while also appealing to audiences worldwide.
Gershenson introduces an innovative conceptual framework of adaptation, which explains how filmmakers adapt global genre tropes to the local context. She sheds light on how Israeli horror borrows and diverges from its international models, offering a fresh perspective on the genre.
New Israeli Horror makes an exciting and original contribution to our understanding of both Israeli cinema and the horror genre. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars, students, and enthusiasts alike, providing a comprehensive exploration of this emerging field.
