Among the questions it asks are: How do these films mock our taboos and unsettle our notions about the human condition? How do they critique our increasing focus on consumption? In what ways do they hold a mirror to our taken-for-granteds about food and humanity, asking if what we eat truly matters?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHorror narratives routinely grasp those questions and spin them into nightmares.  Monstrous “others” dine on forbidden fare; the tables of consumption are turned, and the consumer becomes the consumed.  Overindulgence, as \u003ci\u003eLe Grande Bouffe\u003c\/i\u003e (1973) and \u003ci\u003eStreet Trash \u003c\/i\u003e(1987) warn, can kill us, and occasionally, as films like \u003ci\u003eThe Stuff\u003c\/i\u003e (1985) and \u003ci\u003ePoultrygeist \u003c\/i\u003e(2006) illustrate, our food fights back.  From \u003ci\u003eBlood Feast \u003c\/i\u003e(1963) to \u003ci\u003eSweeney Todd \u003c\/i\u003e(2007), motion pictures have reminded us that it is an “eat or be eaten” world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54221348602200,"sku":"9781501322389","price":173.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781501322389.jpg?v=1743737423","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/whats-eating-you-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
