{"product_id":"9781906733971","title":"SAW","description":"Like all game changers within the horror genre, SAW was an independent success, a low-budget champion that flourished without the patronage of a big studio. Not bad for the most successful horror franchise ever, which has spawned subsidiary media and masses of merchandise, including a theme park rollercoaster ride. What is it about SAW that attracted such a following? In his contribution to the \"Devil’s Advocates\" series, Ben Poole considers the SAW phenomenon from all aspects of film and media studies – from its generic pedigree in both literature and film, to the visceral audience pleasures (\"what would I do?\") of the text, to the contrasting representations of men and women and the film’s implicit criticism of masculinity.","brand":"Auteur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47181342277872,"sku":"9781906733971","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781906733971_p0.jpg?v=1763617040","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781906733971","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
