Description
We Are the Mutantsis a critical reassessment of what is arguably the most discussed and beloved stretch of movies in Hollywood history.
Documenting the period between the arrival of US combat troops in Vietnam and the end of President Ronald Reagan's second term, the book forgoes the usual and restrictive exemplars of "auteur cinema," and instead focuses on an eclectic selection of films and genres - horror, documentary, disaster, vigilante action, neo-noir, post-apocalyptic sci-fi - to track this period'stumultuous transformation in American life, culture, and politics.
By exploring cult classics likeThe Texas Chain Saw MassacreandEscape from New York, as well as studio blockbusters likeTheExorcistandFatal Attraction,We Are the Mutantsrewrites the history of modern American cinema and, in doing so, the history of America itself.
