  • The Irish Journal of Gothic and Horror Studies 17 (Autumn 2018)
    The Irish Journal of Gothic and Horror Studies 17 (Autumn 2018) Jigsaw, dir. Michael Spierig, Peter Spierig (Lionsgate, 2017) Finality is a concept the implications of which the horror genre seems to have blissfully disavowed when developing sequels. Studios have learned to contend with the inescapable fact that, although everything ends, a franchise’s lifespan can be prolonged by injecting a little creative adrenaline to revitalise even the most ailing brands. Narratively, it is possible to exhaust many conventional storytelling possibilities before a property changes form, such as when the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise (1984-2010) moved firmly into experimental meta-territory with Wes Craven’s New Nightmare (1994) after Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991). The term ‘final’ can also signal the onset of a crossover phase where similar properties team up for a showdown, as in Lake Placid vs Anaconda (2015) following Lake Placid: The Final Chapter (2012). Others are satisfied to ignore continuity and proceed unabated; slasher legend Jason Voorhees, for example, has twice bid farewell to audiences in the same established canon with Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984) and Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993). Perhaps most amusingly guilty of having to navigate this challenge is the Final Destination franchise (2000-11). In a series built around the idea of finality, the conclusively titled The Final Destination screened in 2009, yet reneged on its promise, as Final Destination 5 (2011) arrived only two years later. Thus, following Saw: The Final Chapter (2010), comes Jigsaw (2017), the eighth instalment in the long running torture-porn series (2004-17) now explicitly named after its titular villain.

  • Selling the Splat Pack: the Dvd Revolution and the American Horror Film
    SELLING THE SPLAT PACK: THE DVD REVOLUTION AND THE AMERICAN HORROR FILM Mark Bernard A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2010 Committee: Dr. Cynthia Baron, Advisor Dr. Scott A. Magelssen Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Paul McDonald Dr. Maisha Wester ii ABSTRACT Dr. Cynthia Baron, Advisor In 2006, journalists began writing about the emergence of a group of young filmmakers who specialized in horror films featuring torture and graphic violence. Because of their gory and bloody movies, these directors came to be known as “the Splat Pack,” and they were depicted by the press as subversive outsiders rebelling against the Hollywood machine. However, what many discussions of the Splat Pack ignore is how the success of this group of directors was brought about and enabled by the industrial structure of Hollywood at the middle of the first decade of the twenty-first century. Drawing from political economy methodology, this study seeks to understand and illuminate the industrial changes and realignments that gave rise to the Splat Pack, first by looking at how industrial changes have affected the content of horror films of the past, and secondly by examining how the advent of DVD technology made way for the gory, “Unrated” films of the Splat Pack. DVD played a major role in the rise of the Splat Pack by changing the way horror films were presented to their potential audiences and by leading to an industry acceptance of “Unrated” films. With this in mind, this study then turns to an analysis of several key films directed by the Splat Pack and uses the commodity form of the DVD as a lens through which to interpret these films.

  • See, Seeing, Seen, Saw: a Phenomenology of Ultra-Violent Cinema Sarah Downes Loughborough University, Leicestershire (UK) E-Mail: [email protected]
    ACTA UNIV. SAPIENTIAE, FILM AND MEDIA STUDIES, 8 (2014) 129–148 DOI: 10.2478/ausfm-2014-0030 See, Seeing, Seen, Saw: A Phenomenology of Ultra-Violent Cinema Sarah Downes Loughborough University, Leicestershire (UK) E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Vivian Sobchack claims in Carnal Thoughts that human bodies are continually remade by the “technologies of photography, cinema, and the electronic media” (2004, 135). One such sphere of contemporary media that continuously redel nes the notion of the human body is horror cinema. The recent advent of so-called ‘gorenography,’ spearheaded by James Wan and Leigh Whannel’s Saw (2004), issues conceptual and philosophical challenges to the presentation and conceptualization of the phenomenal body. Following in the scope of frameworks advanced by both Sobchack and Jennifer Barker this paper aims to explore how the body of the Saw series is constructed and how it emulates both the conceptualized bodies of its viewers and the state of modern information m ow in a technological age. It will be argued that the Saw series not only recognises viewers’ enjoyment of its genre conventions but also acknowledges and manipulates their engagement with the l lm as a phenomenological object through which a sense of re-embodiment can be enacted. Keywords: Leigh Whannel: Saw (2004), phenomenology, “gorenography,” ultra-violent cinema. Amanda Young (Shawnee Smith) is led into a police interview room. She sits at the table, her head and shoulders shaking, twitching, as her eyes m it restlessly. Despite the eye-line shot taken by the camera Amanda does not meet its gaze.
