Reviews
There are several elements of this book that are appealing. First, it is clearly and engagingly written [...]. Second, the author is eclectic in his resources, drawing from scholarship in both German and English, from phenomenology, cognitive film theory, and cultural studies. [...It] is a substantial achievement. --Carl Plantinga, author of Moving Viewers: American Film and the Spectator's Experience ...[an] impressive account of genre, aesthetics, and audience affect... ...[a] compelling and wonderfully readable volume [that] make[s] an important addition to scholarship that bridges film and philosophy The difference between Hanich's work and much scholarship on film and embodiment is his superior ability to contextualize and qualify his claims, thoughtfully developing their implications... --Jane Stadler, author of Pulling Focus: Intersubjective Experience, Narrative Film and Ethics ...Hanich indeed manages to take a fresh, perceptive look at Cinematic Emotion in Horror Films and Thrillers. --Rolf Lochel in Literaturkritik.de

The argument is well-founded and developed in a highly readable fashion throughout the book. It raises many interesting questions. Hence this study could soon become a standard reference for the study of horror films and thrillers. --Rayd Khouloki, Sehepunkte.de and author of Der filmische Raum: Konstruktion, Wahrnehmung, Bedeutung
