Issledovaniya horrora. Obnovleniya zhanra v XXI veke

Posle vzlyota v 1980-h i padeniya v 1990-h zhanr horror nachal umerennyy i vmeste s tem uverennyy podem v 2000-h gg. Vprochem, uchyonye eschyo v 2010 g. konstatirovali, chto kritiki i poklonniki filmov uzhasov rassuzhdali o zhanre v kategoriyah «krizisa». No vskore vsyo izmenilos. Horror rastsvyol i perezhil renessans. Poyavilis novye avtory (Robert Eggers, Dzhordan Pil, Ari Aster), novye subzhanry (metahorror, posthorror, folk-horror), mnogie klassicheskie filmy i franshizy poluchili remeyki i rebuty («Pila», «Krik», serial «Sumerechnaya zona»). Eti protsessy preimuschestvenno na amerikanskom materiale issleduet v svoey novoy knige filosof i kinoved Aleksandr Pavlov. Osoboe vnimanie udelyaetsya izmeneniyam v haraktere politizatsii filmov uzhasov, kotorye vot uzhe pyatdesyat let otrazhayut mnogochislennye problemy raznyh obschestv.
