Finalist for the 2017 Lambda Literary Award in the LGBT Nonfiction category presented by the Lambda Literary Foundation
Ghost Faces explores the insidious nature of homophobia even in contemporary Hollywood films that promote their own homo-tolerance and appear to destabilize hegemonic masculinity. Reframing Laura Mulvey’s and Gilles Deleuze’s paradigms and offering close readings grounded in psychoanalysis and queer theory, David Greven examines several key films and genre trends from the late 1990s forward. Movies considered range from the slasher film
Scream to bromances and beta male comedies such as
I Love You, Man to dramas such as
Donnie Darko and
25th Hour to Rob Zombie’s remake of the horror film
Halloween. Greven also traces the disturbing connections between torture porn found in such films as
Hostel and gay male Internet pornography.
