Horror films have traditionally sunk their teeth into straitened times, reflecting, expressing and validating the spirit of the epoch, and capitalising on the political and cultural climate in which they are made. This book shows how the horror genre has adapted itself to the transformation of contemporary American politics and the mutating role of traditional and new media in the era of Donald Trump\u2019s Presidency of the United States. Exploring horror\u2019s renewed potential for political engagement in a socio-political climate characterised by the angst of civil conflict, the deception of \u2018alternative facts\u2019 and the threat of nuclear or biological conflict and global warming, Make America Hate Again examines the intersection of film, politics, and American culture and society through a bold critical analysis of popular horror (films, television shows, podcasts and online parodies), such as 10 Cloverfield Lane, American Horror Story, Don\u2019t Breathe, Get Out, Hotel.
