This book provides a fresh look at American horror remakes produced in the years since 2000, and represents a significant academic intervention into an understanding of the remaking trend. Offering an alternative take to the critical and scholarly dismissal of genre remakes as derivative copies, Reanimated instead approaches the films as intertextual adaptations which have both drawn from and helped to shape the genre in the 21st Century. Including detailed analysis of films from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre to IT, and identifying distinct cycles, production strategies and patterns of reception, this study illustrates the importance of the remake to contemporary horror cinema. Rather than representing the death of horror, remaking instead demonstrates the genre's remarkable capacity to reanimate.
