Inspired by the rich golden age of the film and television industries as well as the new media present, this new anthology reveals what evils hide behind the scenes and between the frames of our favorite medium. With original stories from a diverse list of some of the best-known names in horror, Final Cuts will haunt you long after the credits roll.… (más)
Not as well curated as other collections attended by Datlow. A curious homogeneity blunts the anthology and, at the end, only a few stories stand out. Contains: Introduction / Ellen Datlow -- Das Gesicht / Dale Bailey -- Drunk physics / Kelley Armstrong -- Exhalation #10 / A.C. Wise -- Scream queen / Nathan Ballingrud -- Family / Lisa Morton -- Night of the living / Paul Cornell -- The one we tell bad children / Laird Barron -- Snuff in six scenes / Richard Kadrey -- Insanity among penguins / Brian Hodge -- From the balcony of the Idawolf Arms / Jeffrey Ford -- Lords of the matinee / Stephen Graham Jones -- A Ben Evans film / Josh Malerman -- The face is a mask / Christophen Golden -- Folie à deux, or the ticking hourglass / Usman T. Malik -- Hungry girls / Cassandra Khaw -- Cut frame / Gemma Files -- Many mouths to make a meal / Garth Nix -- Altered beast, altered me / John Langan. ( )
Ellen Datlow has been editing dark fantasy and horror anthologies for decades, and she definitely knows how to do it. This anthology of all-original stories is no exception; there’s something for everyone here, really. Sometimes the concept of “Hollywood” or horror stories involving film is somewhat stretched, as in the last and longest story in the book (and the one that terrified me the most), “Altered Beast, Altered Me” by John Langan; other stories such as Josh Malerman’s “A Ben Evans Film” are a bit more traditional. As ever with such anthologies, each reader will have his or her favourites; the two mentioned above were mine, but there is a lot of variety in the stories and fans of horror will be amply rewarded. Recommended! ( )
The impressive creative range and the authors’ willingness to push their ideas to the limit make this a memorable exploration of the intersection between horror literature and film. Genre enthusiasts should snap this up.

From the first moving picture publicly shown in 1895—the Lumière brothers’ fifty-second film L’arrivée d’un train en gare de La Ciotat (translated into English as The Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat Station)—the medium has maintained its hold on society’s imagination. -Introduction
