Summary:

"Capitalism Hates You uses the horror film genre as a tool to diagnose and expose the hostile conditions of life under capitalism. Arguing that these films and their material conditions can deepen our understanding of essential concepts in contemporary Marxism, Joshua Gooch sheds light on the growing field of socially conscious horror films, examining how they pinpoint and exaggerate latent feelings of dread and discomfort to reflect society's ills"-- Provided by publisher.
