"Shocking Entertainment" attempts to understand why adults choose to watch violent films which societal/cultural consensus considers extreme and brutal. If these films are brutalising, why do consumers consider them entertaining? Understanding the process of viewing violence is one way of opening up the current debate concerning the 'effects' of violence to include objective and broadminded responses to this phenomena of our times.
