Anti capitalist horror film.

[bluetrot]

Recently, whilst bored, I was channel hopping, and ended up watching a horror film, called Society. It was brilliant. I am not claiming it is socialist, but it was certainly anti capitalist. It was made in 1989, and I had never come across it before.
Sorry I can't post a link to a review yet.

There are several horror films that lend themselves to an anti-capitalist reading. George Romero's cannibal zombie movies are examples, especially Dawn of the Dead and Land of the Dead. The Marxist humanist film critic Robin Wood has a good chapter on the subject in his book Hollywood from Vietnam to Reagan.

American Psycho has a slight anti-capitalist edge.

Society is fucking amazing. Cronenbergian both in its paranoid fantasy and obscene special effects; the horror of the flesh; oh man. I haven't seen it in far too long.

Can't post links, but if you google "marxism and monsters" you'll find mp3s of China Mieville (a Trot, but a good guy) giving a great talk on horror and Marxism
