Justice & Vigilantism in Horror Movies

When the system fails, who decides what's fair? 15 episodes look at revenge and retribution: Pumpkinhead on the price of retribution and vengeance vs. justice, I Saw the Devil on the inevitability that revenge can never fully satisfy, and Joker and Saw on personal justice. Thirteen Ghosts asks whether holding a spirit against its will is any better than holding a person, and The Shawshank Redemption covers dehumanization, institutionalization and justice.
