American Cinema Psycho Forum &
1. The textbook states that the secondor modernperiod [of horror], from 1960 to the present, can be traced back to Alfred Hitchcocks Psycho (1960), which is credited
for situating the horror film within an American (rather than a European) context and for presenting the monster as a product of the modern American family (284). Discuss this point, and give an example from the film.
2. Talk about the horror film or science fiction film you watched. Discuss anything youd like!
You can also discuss a film made outside the US if you want.
Thanks! (Film I chose is Independence Day)
