Academic Essay
The Feminine-Monstrous and the Pellicule of Body Horror
HUMANITAS: Victoria University Undergraduate Journal for the Humanities (April 2012)
"In an analysis of the horror sub-genre of New French Extremity, Alexandre Aja's High Tension (2003), Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury's Inside (2007), and Claire Denis's Trouble Every Day (2001) will be examined and shown to be subversive through the inclusion of female monsters, as well as the breakdown or exclusion of the traditional nuclear family. Applying feminist theory to the cinematic 'male' gaze, it will be shown how these films defy traditional horror tropes, and in the case of Trouble Every Day, extend beyond the reach of niche sub-genre to also challenge gender stereotypes through a female monster without gendered-female motives."
