Description

This book explores the resurgence of rural horror following the events of 9/11. As filmmakers moved away from urban settings, they turned to American heartland horror, reflecting fears surrounding the Global War on Terror. The author analyses the relationship between this genre and the political repercussions of 9/11, examining how films engage with traumatic events and their impact on cultures. The book offers a series of case studies covering ten years, shedding light on how Post-9/11 Heartland Horror films scrutinize and unravel the events, aspirations, anxieties, discourses, dogmas, and socio-political conflicts of the post-9/11 era. This study will appeal to scholars and students of film studies, cultural studies, and media studies, as well as those interested in the relationship between popular culture and politics.
