Abstract

This study examines found footage horror as a subgenre and a form of re-semantization of the landscape characterized by a mise-en-scene and a make-believe style that aim to emphasize connections between regional landscapes and global horror tropes. In particular, the research shows how the Po Delta region is portrayed in two found footage horror films and mockumentaries in a way that echoes the cursed geographies present in the literature of supernatural writer H. P. Lovecraft. The films analyzed in this article illustrate how found footage and mockumentary horror formulas have been employed to reinterpret regional themes, aligning them with global popular cultures to attract both national and international audiences.

Questo studio esamina il found footage horror come sottogenere e forma di risemantizzazione del paesaggio, caratterizzato da una messa in scena e uno stile di finzione che mirano a enfatizzare dei collegamenti tra i paesaggi regionali e i tropi del genere horror globale. In particolare, la ricerca mostra come la regione del Delta del Po sia rappresentata in due film horror found footage e mockumentari in modo tale da riecheggiare le geografie maledette presenti nella letteratura dello scrittore soprannaturale H. P. Lovecraft. I film analizzati in questo articolo illustrano come le formule del found footage e del mockumentario horror siano state utilizzate per rielaborare temi regionali, allineandoli con le culture popolari globali al fine di attrarre un pubblico sia nazionale che internazionale.
