A hydrophobic Roy Scheider can blow up a shark. Buffy can and will slay vampires. Heroic human qualities like love, bravery, resourcefulness, and intelligence will eventually defeat the monster. But, after the 9\/11, American horror became much more bleak, with many films ending with the deaths of the entire main cast. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePost-9\/11 Horror in American Cinema\u003c\/em\u003e illustrates how contemporary horror films explore visceral and emotional reactions to the attacks and how they underpin audiences' ongoing fears about their safety. It examines how scary movies have changed as a result of 9\/11 and, conversely, how horror films construct and give meaning to the event in a way that other genres do not. Considering films such as \u003cem\u003eQuarantine, Cloverfield, Hostel\u003c\/em\u003e and the \u003cem\u003eSaw\u003c\/em\u003e series, Wetmore examines the transformations in horror cinema since 9\/11 and considers not merely how the tropes have changed, but how our understanding of horror itself has changed. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kevin J.
