Dealing with a variety of twenty-first century horror films,
Jackson examines how the technologically produced and reproduced
image functions as a site of monstrous birth. These monsters,
threatening and ominous as they may be, represent the possibility
for a renewed belief in the reality of the world and humanity's
place within it. Through a wide spectrum of horror sub-genres, this
book examines how the current state of horror - its sense of being
at an end, its increasing self-awareness, and its concern with the
relationship between media and message - reflects these anxieties
in Western culture. Horror films bring them to a mass audience and
offer ever new figures for the nameless faceless 'antagonist' that
plagues us. At the same time, horror provides material with which
to build a different understanding of ourselves, its monsters
representing ends but also beginnings.
