This book explores the resurgence of rural horror following the
events of 9/11, as a number of filmmakers, inspired by the films of
the 1970s, moved away from the characteristic industrial and urban
settings of apocalyptic horror, to return to American heartland
horror. Examining the revival of rural horror in an era of city
fear and urban terrorism, the author analyses the relationship of
the genre with fears surrounding the Global War on Terror,
exploring the films' engagement with the political repercussions of
9/11 and the ways in which traces of traumatic events leave their
mark on cultures. Arranged around the themes of dissent,
patriotism, myth, anger and memorial, and with attention to both
text and socio-cultural context in its interpretation of the films'
themes, Post-9/11 Heartland Horror offers a series of case studies
covering a ten-year period to shed light on the manner in which the
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. As such, it will appeal to scholars
and students of film studies, cultural studies and media studies,
and those with interests in the relationship between popular
culture and politics.
