Horror film theory


Unlike other genres, horror goes deeper, to explore more fundamental questions about the nature of human existence’

‘Horror scares me because it challenges the unknown.’


‘Also characteristic to horror genre is the struggle of good and evil. Originally horror films plotted some unthinkable monster against an individual or group of people who must fight to stay alive. Over the years the monster has mutated into several things including, lunatic fathers, possessed children, ghosts, aliens, the psychotic murderer next door and these are typical plots and characters in the films we see today.’


‘The feminist film theory believes that it is the women that make the men behave in that way but they play no important role’
