Scream with Me

by Eleanor Johnson

Simon and Schuster · 2025 · 352 pages

This insightful study argues that the visceral thrills of 1970s American horror cinema provided a powerful lens through which to process anxieties surrounding women's rights and bodily autonomy. By examining films like *Rosemary's Baby* and *The Exorcist*, the author reveals how these unsettling narratives grappled with issues of reproductive control, domestic oppression, and patriarchal fears. For fans of horror and feminist film criticism alike, this book offers a compelling look at how the genre reflected and shaped vital cultural conversations.
