It provides a critical understanding of cult genres within the film industry, both locally and globally. It builds upon theoretical debates and social issues surrounding the evolution of fantasy, sci-fi and horror as films – including the connections to literature and other media – and their place in contemporary culture.

It critiques the creation of fantasy, sci-fi and horror icons in their cinematic contexts, and their importance as part of cultural and industrial trends.
