PROJECTIONS: Women in Horror Films
The horror genre in film follows from the literary tradition established by Edgar Allan Poe, Bram Stoker and Mary Shelley, eliciting physiological and psychological reactions through suspense, gore, the macabre and the supernatural. Horror films transfix and terrify audiences in equal measure, unfailingly achieving suspension of disbelief because fear is a universal emotion. Via Freud, Kristeva, Lacan and Laing's theories, we can explore the proposition that the horror genre affords us an indispensable language for approaching the complex dimensions of feminine subjectivity.
