Description
Explore the complex relationship between horror cinema and modern history in Torture Porn in the Wake of 9/11: Horror, Exploitation, and the Cinema of Sensation. This study by Aaron Kerner examines the wave of films like Saw, Hostel, and The Devil's Rejects that have been labeled "torture porn" since David Edelstein coined the term. While many critics link these movies to the anxieties and sadistic fantasies of the War on Terror, Kerner provides a different perspective. He argues that this phenomenon must be understood within a much broader context that spans multiple media genres and is rooted in a long tradition. This book offers a timely analysis for those interested in film history, horror criticism, and the cultural impact of cinema.
