Description
This groundbreaking monograph provides the first critical examination of the controversial torture porn horror subgenre, offering an in-depth analysis of how press coverage has shaped public perception of these films. The book dissects key torture porn films released after Saw, exploring the conceptual frameworks and cultural contexts that define both the term torture and its association with horror cinema. By mapping the broader meanings embedded in this divisive subgenre, the author contextualises torture porn within film studies discourse, examining why these films provoke such strong reactions and what they reveal about contemporary horror audiences and criticism. Essential reading for film scholars, horror enthusiasts, and anyone interested in understanding how controversial cinema is discussed and defended in popular media.
