About Liam Hathaway

Liam saw John Carpenter's THE THING at an impressionable age and would later in life receive a PhD writing about killer bug films (no, really). Though he is interested in many aspects of cinema, his key interest lies in how genre films frequently engage with the cultural moment. He has written for multiple edited collections, delivered papers at various academic conferences, provides essays for 101 Films’ Blu-Ray releases and writes a monthly film column for Time In Time Out magazine. Fervent writings about dodgy cult films can be found on his Letterboxd page.
