Comfortably Numb: Material Ecocriticism and the Postmodern Horror Film.
- Authors
Rust, Stephen A.
- Abstract
The article argues that mid-1970s to the mid-1980 post-modern horror films may be useful in the analysis of material ecocriticism. Topics covered include the typical depiction of violation of bodies and transgression of moral boundaries in postmodern horror films, analysis of the 1982 film "The Wall," directed by Alan Parker and opinion the horror films can influence people to their move out of their resignation to ecological catastrophe.
