- Published in 2016, this book takes an in-depth look at 24 international films?with discussion of another 100?that in effect ?indict" viewers for crimes of child abuse and abandonment, greed, social and ecological negligence, political and war crimes, and for persistent denial of responsibility for them all. For 75 years evil children have ritually rebuked audiences and, in playing on our guilt, established a horror subgenre that might be described as a blood-spattered rampage on an ethical mission.
