Table of ContentsReviewsCourtney Patrick-Weber offers a welcome new perspective on horror films that deal with the myriad ways that pregnancy and birth are bound up within medicine, law, and politics. By focusing on the rhetorical framing of issues such as risk and choice, and their role in narratives of trauma and loss, Weber highlights how popular culture might interrogate our assumptions about bodies, power and agency.--Erin Harrington, University of Canterbury While horror films have long attended to the female body, Patrick-Weber's analysis provides a useful exploration of the ways the pregnant female body is rendered through the rhetoric of medical technology.
