This book offers a detailed and rigorous analysis of the formal and thematic constants of the Catalan director Jaume Balagueró, known for highly successful films such as the [Rec] saga, Los sin nombre, and Frágiles. The author, Julio Ángel Olivares Merino, explores how Balagueró has managed to merge the foundations of classic horror with a determined commitment to authorial expression, thanks to his vast film culture and his desire for innovation.
Balagueró's work presents a grotesque and dehumanized gallery of characters, where the dark side of the human being emerges. This book provides the keys to appreciate in all its richness the filmography of Balagueró, to which until now sufficient critical attention had not been paid.
