To See the Saw Movies: Essays on Torture Porn and Post-9/11 Horror
James Aston & John Walliss (eds.)
McFarland (2013)
Abstract
"This collection addresses the Saw franchise--the highest grossing horror series of all time. The films are often derided as "torture porn." This collection addresses the cultural, religious and philosophical themes that run through the films; how the series explores such issues as freewill and determinism; representations of the body; and a Deleuzian perspective to the franchise"--Author's Profile
