Future Tense anticipates every question that a lover of cinematic science fiction could want to ask. Technical mastery and special effects, the differences between written science fiction and filmed science fiction, history and lore of the genre - are all covered here along with plot summaries and analyses of the greatest and most notorious films, among them "The Thing", " Invasion of the Body Snatchers", and "The Incredible Shrinking Man."

This history of science fiction film traces the genre from its earliest days to the two pre-war blockbusters, "Metropolis" and "Things to Come", whose commercial failure put an end to big-budget science fiction film-making for 30 years. It goes on to examine the space adventures of the 1950s, such as "Forbidden Planet" and "This Island Earth", the more horror-based examples such as "Invasion of the Body-Snatchers", the hugely successful "2001" and the post-"Star Wars" boom from the late 1970s onwards. The author is a science fiction critic and author whose novels include the "Skylords" series.

From "Nosferatu" and "The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari" to "Rosemary's Baby" and "The Exorcist", the horror movie has captivated millions. Author John Brosnan shows how this German export first flourished in America under the influence of such immortals as Lon Chaney and the eccentric director of Dracula - Tod Browning - whose classic film "Freaks" destroyed his career. The author restores to life historic figures like Karloff, Lugosi and James Agee's favorite, Val Lewton - producer of the psychological thriller "I Walked With a Zombie". Brosnan explores the careers of contemporary "horror people" such as Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing - two popular stars with starkly contrasting attitudes to horror films - and the incomparable Vincent Price.
