This bold and original book examines in detail a relatively new genre offilm -- the erotic thriller. Linda Ruth Williams traces the genre's exploitation ofpornography and noir, discusses mainstream stars (including Michael Douglas andSharon Stone) as well as genre-branded direct-to-video stars, charts the work of keyproducers and directors, and considers home videos as a distinct form of viewingpleasure. She maps the history of the genre, analyzing hundreds of movies fromblockbusters such as Basic Instinct, Fatal Attraction, and In the Cut tostraight-to-video film titles such as Carnal Crimes, Sins of Desire, and Night Eyes.
Williams's witty and illuminating readings tell the story of thissensational genre and contribute to the analysis of mainstream screen sex -- and itscensorship -- at the beginning of the 21st century. She shows that as the eroticthriller plays out the sexual fantasies of contemporary America, it also provides avehicle for marketing those fantasies globally.
