In Violence in the Films of Stephen King, contributors analyze the
theme of violence in the film adaptations of Stephen King's
work-ranging from the earliest films in the King canon to his most
recent iterations-through a variety of lenses. Investigating the
diverse and varying roles that violence continues to play as both
the level of violence and the gendered depictions of violence have
evolved, many of the contributors come to the conclusion that
King's films have grown more violent over time. This book also
examines the fine line between necessary violence and
sensationalist violence, discussing the complexity of determining
what constitutes violence with a narrative and ethical significance
versus violence intended solely to titillate, repulse, or otherwise
draw an emotional reaction from viewers. Scholars of film studies,
horror studies, literary studies, and gender studies will find this
book particularly useful.
