Bad: Infamy, Darkness, Evil, and Slime on Screen By Murray Pomerance

Violence and corruption sell big, especially since the birth of action cinema, but even from cinema s earliest days, the public has been delighted to be stunned by screen representations of negativity in all its forms evil, monstrosity, corruption, ugliness, villainy, and darkness. Bad examines the long line of thieves, rapists, varmints, codgers, dodgers, manipulators, exploiters, conmen, killers, vamps, liars, demons, cold-blooded megalomaniacs, and warmhearted flakes that populate cinematic narrative. From Nosferatu to The Talented Mr. Ripley, the contributors consider a wide range of genres and use a variety of critical approaches to examine evil, villainy, and immorality in twentieth-century film."
