1. Seeing Things
In the backdrop of 1980s India, "Seeing Things" delves into the unique world of horror films produced during this era. These movies, featuring soul-sucking witches, knife-wielding maniacs, and mysterious vampires, are examined through their technical imperfections like sudden cuts and flawed makeup effects. Kartik Nair explores these cinematic "failures" to uncover the conditions under which these films were created, censored, and viewed. Through detailed analysis, archival research, and interviews, the book sheds light on the eerie elements that define the genre's haunted settings, bizarre characters, and intense scenes.
