Through films such as Orphan , Insidious , and Carrie , Kimberly Jackson reveals how the destruction of male figures and the depictions of female monstrosity in twenty-first-century horror cinema suggest that contemporary American culture finds itself at a cultural standstill between a post-patriarchal society and post-feminist ideology.

Kimberly Jackson is Associate Professor of English at Florida Gulf Coast University, USA.
