Laura Mee

I graduated from De Montfort University in 2008 (BA Hons Media and Film Studies), and was subsequently awarded the Peter Orton Scholarship to undertake an MA in Film Studies by Independent Study (Distinction).

I am now based in the Cinema and Television History (CATH) research centre at DMU, and my recently completed PhD research was funded by an AHRC Studentship Competition award. My thesis uses recent examples from contemporary American horror cinema to explore the process of remaking as a mode of adaptation.

In addition to horror cinema, film remakes and adaptation, my wider research interests include contemporary American cinema, cult film and fandom.
