Abstract:

In the modern world, the problem of the perception of science in society is relevant, and it is impossible to expect scientific breakthroughs and the introduction of new technologies into everyday life without its solution. Anti-scientology views have taken root in society with the active assistance of the media. In this regard, it seems useful to analyse the features of the science image formation by means of fiction. The purpose of the article is to study the possibilities of using the genre of the American thriller novel as a means of scientific communication that can inspire society’s confidence in science. To achieve the stated purpose, the analysis of the peculiarities of the science perception in modern society is carried out; the methods of communication between scientists and society are considered, and the specific features of the thriller genre are revealed. The author came to the conclusion that the genre nature of the thriller novel makes it possible to tell mass audience about new technologies in a fascinating way, take a fresh look at scientific achievements, comprehend the moral principles of science, and build trust in innovative technologies in modern society.

An analysis of Christopher Nolan's science-fiction thriller, Inception, which relates it to Nolan's previous films and argues that the film's multilayered nest of worlds and strangely cold action sequences relate to the commodification of the psyche.

Abstract:

Crazed with extremity of affect, thriller action, and a cosmopolitical style as befits the Korean-global blockbuster mode of auteur production, Bong Joon-ho’s 2013 film Snowpiercer also prods its audience to confront looming conditions of global warming, ecological disequilibrium, class and resource warfare, trans-species bonding, and the planetary horizon of the Anthropocene.

Abstract:

Since the early 1990s, there has been a dramatic shift in the crime genre. The hunches and action-driven narratives of previous investigations have made way for experts whose knowledge of criminalistics and profiling has become the genre's primary procedure and spectacle. Similarly, female investigators are joining hyper-masculine and hardboiled detectives in scrutinising the genre's typically female murder victims. That specialised expert knowledge and female investigators should become a preoccupation of the genre at the same cultural moment demands further scrutiny. This thesis argues that they are interconnected - representing anxieties over women's changing professional roles, and a perception in postmodern and postfeminist media culture that women, in particular, are increasingly at risk of violent attack.

Abstract:

This chapter looks into the legacy of Fritz Lang's M. It examines how Lang's portrayal of a serial killer as protagonist went on to influence subsequent horror films and serial killer thrillers. It also describes how Lang innovatively used abnormal psychology as a source of monstrosity in place of the supernatural or mad science, which was popular with horror cinema in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. The chapter outlines ways M influenced everything from the emerging serial killer thriller subgenre to film noir through titles like Stranger on the Third Floor (1940) and Hangover Square (1945). It discusses how Lang continued to explore M's themes in his own later films and how they influenced more contemporary depictions of serial killers in both art-house cinema and mainstream horror films.

Abstract:

This chapter examines Hammer and its history with science fiction. Hammer had become, by 1963, an easy studio to pin down: the broader production slate of the 1950s had been narrowed to mainly produce Gothic horror and modern thriller/slasher films, with little interest in cultural 'respectability'. Since Hammer's first feature-length film, however, its slate of releases covered a multitude of subjects and genres such as mysteries, comedies, crime dramas and noirs, and science fiction. A certain amount of commentary on Joseph Losey's The Damned (1963) has identified it as an anomaly in the Hammer catalogue. There is its frequent description as a kind of hybrid, mixing the biker/delinquent movie with the science fiction genre; but Hammer had previous form in this department. The genre mix in The Damned is more ungainly than most because, rather than running concurrently throughout the film, the genres tend to interrupt each other.

Abstract:

Chapter Three compares and contrasts the psychotic realism of Psycho and American Psycho to the financial realism of more contemporary finance fictions such as Alger’s The Darlings. The case-study in this chapter is Robert Harris’ science-fiction thriller The Fear Index. While The Fear Index continues the finance novel’s theme of psychosis—its main character, a finance man, is suggested to be psychotic and the novel includes a murder scene set in a hotel shower that is clearly inter-textual with Hitchcock’s film. The novel also resists this theme by refusing to blame everything that is happening to its main character on psychosis. Instead, it gradually reveals that the source of the evils narrated in the book is a trading algorithm that has gone rogue. The Fear Index thus introduces its readers to the contemporary economy of algorithmic, high-frequency trading—a reality that, while it may sound like science fiction, is represented in the novel in a realist, and at one point even documentary-like, mode. Generally received as a sci-fi thriller, The Fear Index thus presents an important step forward in relation to the psychotic realism of American Psycho in that it resists what Joseph Vogl in his philosophical study of the economy has called “the spectralization of capital.” The economy is certainly not forgotten in Harris’ novel but instead takes center-stage.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter explores the legacy of Paul Verhoeven's RoboCop in terms of the original critical reception, the film's relationship with its two sequels, and the marketing of the film. Released in the summer season of 1987, RoboCop was an unexpected commercial success, leading to the creation of the RoboCop universe, extending into television, video games, animation, and numerous sequels. The chapter then considers Verhoeven's work in the Hollywood science-fiction genre. The success of RoboCop led to an interest in science-fiction cinema that would lead Verhoeven to direct three more science-fiction films: Total Recall (1990), Starship Troopers (1997), and Hollow Man (2000). None of the films are pure science fiction but hybrids, fusing conventions from a broad range of genres including war movie, horror, and the political thriller.

Full text

Abstract:

This introductory chapter provides an overview of Christopher Nolan's Inception (2010). Inception blurs the distinctions between various genres. It is considered as science fiction although it does not contain many of the elements associated with the genre. It can also be identified as a kind of heist film, and the first part of the film, the extraction, certainly involves a complex robbery; but then the second part of the film, while having many of the trappings of a heist, involves putting something into a heavily guarded location rather than stealing from it. Moreover, the heist motifs and the film's character types are reminiscent of film noir. Inception can also be described as a psychological thriller and it deals with the subject of time and how dreams are related to the conscious and unconscious mind.

Abstract:

This chapter reviews Terence Fisher's initial work for Eros Films Ltd. on the production of Home to Danger, that starred Guy Rolfe. It discusses how Fisher embarked on a long period of highly uneven filmmaking after leaving behind the Gainsborough glossies, bouncing from one small company to another and making everything from domestic comedies and crime films to science-fiction dramas. It also looks at the period Fisher began his first work for Hammer, which used to be a very small British production company that relied upon co-production deals arranged by Robert Lippert. The chapter discusses Home to Danger, a successful program picture that is considered a modest and unpretentious crime thriller. It describes Fisher's crisp and authoritative compositions that favors neatly composed low-angle shots, which emphasized the grandeur of Barbara's home in Home to Danger.
