Using ""Schindler's List"", ""The Silence of the Lambs"", and ""Apt Pupil"" as case studies, this book challenges the classic horror frame - the narrative and visual borders used to demarcate monsters and the monstrous. Supported by thirty-six film and publicity stills, it also explores the commercial exploitation of suffering in film.
