Description
Synopsis
In recent years, the rollback of reproductive freedoms and the increased control over women's bodily autonomy has created a chilling, despotic atmosphere in America—a cultural climate, Columbia professor Eleanor Johnson argues, that feels ripped straight out of a horror film. In Scream With Me, Johnson examines how the horror genre holds a mirror up to our societal ills. In ten trenchant essays, Johnson examines how classic films like Rosemary’s Baby, The Exorcist, and The Shining reflect and critique issues of reproductive control, domestic violence, and patriarchal oppression. By weaving these iconic films into the fabric of feminism, Johnson reveals that the true horror often lies not in the supernatural, but in the familiar confines of the home. Based on the popular course at Columbia University, Scream With Me is an unflinching and firm-footed recognition of the power of horror films in shaping and reflecting cultural dialogues about gender and power. With intellect and empathy, Johnson encourages us to see beyond the surface scares and understand the deeper messages at play. For anyone passionate about film, feminism, or social justice, this book is an essential read.
