About a year and a half ago I wrote a review of Nicholas Royle's The Uncanny (Routledge, 2003). My piece is finally available, and you can find it here.
Because I have an interest in horror film and gothic literature, I've spent some time studying Freud's famous essay on the uncanny. I even taught it in a class on tragedy and horror that I gave a few times at Bryn Mawr College. (Here's the syllabus for the final version of that class.)
Several years ago I published an essay entitled "Heidegger, the Uncanny, and Jacques Tourneur's Horror Films" in a book entitled Dark Thoughts: Philosophic Reflections on Cinematic Horror. There I contrast Freud's concept of the uncanny with (of all things) Heidegger's concept of the uncanny as it appears in Being and Time, and then I apply the latter concept to Jacques Tourneur's horror films, that is, to Cat People, I Walked with a Zombie, The Leopard Man, and Curse of the Demon.
If you think that my essay would interest you, send me an email and I'll send you a PDF in return.
