While violence cloaks itself in a plethora of disguises, its favorite mantle stiff remains sex". do fifme Faster Pussycat, Kiffl! Kill! 0 presente trabalho e, antes de mais nada, um mergulho em inesgotavel filao da indus­ tria do entretenimento. Atraves de uma retrospectiva inicial nas bases do cinema de horror e explora<;:ao, vamos buscar as influencias que viriam a ser incorporadas ao que convencionou­ se chamar de fi/mes exploitation. lremos tratar de um segmento na vasta linhagem defilhos bastardos do cinema-espeta­ culo, feitos a margem da grande industria. Se por um lado grande parte dessas produ<;:6es surge na esteira dos grandes lanyamentos compensando seus baixos or<;:amentos com apelos explicitos aos instintos dos espectadores, par outro, um numero tambem significativo possui identidade propria e diferenciada. Muitas vezes esses apelos tornam-se, nas maos de certos realizadores, elementos transgressores por irem de encontro as estruturas sociais, politicas ou religiosas vigentes, mesmo que esses apelos, em muitos casas, se apresentem de forma con­ tradit6ria. Assim, observados com mais atenyao, nao e raro encontrar rasgos de conservadorismo ou preconceitos neles inseridos. De qualquer modo, estabelecem um vinculo com a plateia mostrando o que s6 e possivel dentro de um esquema marginaL Seus padr6es esteticos e narrativos fogem daqueles estabelecidos pelas principais correntes do cinema convencional e, por estarem distantes dos grandes estudios, gozam de uma certa liberdade criadora. Conse­ guem, desse modo, reunirfileiras defas que, nao raramente, os elevam a posiyao discutivel de cult movies. Sao comercialmente predat6rios, pais muitas vezes o que vale e fazer filmes de baixo or<;:amento, dando ao publico altas doses de violencia, sexo e sadismo. Por outro lado, 7 reavaliados, muitos dos filmes produzidos dentro dessa linha, superaram as expectativas de publico e crftica, tornando-se pontos de referencia ao renovarem ou determinarem novas ru­ mos ao genero a que estavam vinculados. Foi o caso de produc;oes de baixo orc;amento como A Noite dos Mortos Vivos (The Night of the Living Dead/1968), de George Romero; 0 Massa­ cre da Serra Eletrica (TheTexas Chainsaw Massacre/1974), de Tobe Hooper; Aniversario Sangrento (The Last House on the Left/1972) e Quadrilha de Sadicos (The Hills Have Eyes! 1977), de Wes Craven; e Halloween (1978), de John Carpenter. Romero, alias, foi quem abriu caminho para a vertente da violencia explfcita denominada de splatter' ou gore, com suas ce­ nas de canibalismo, grande tabu ainda em fins dos anos 60. Apesar de nao ser pioneiro neste quesito, ja que antes dele Herschell Gordon Lewis mostrava o sangue-e-tripas grafico em seu filme mais conhecido, ao qual daremos destaque mais adiante: Banquete de Sadicos(Biood Feast/1963). Desde os fins dos anos 80, o chamado cinema trash deixou os poroes onde estavam encerrados e as prateleiras dos fundos das video-locadoras, para se tornarem alvo de mostras e de interesse da mfdia. Assistimos a uma "valorizayao" do que antes era considerado de mau gosto. Ganhando a alcunha de cult, foram redescobertos e tomaram a vez em discussoes que, em geral, versavam sobre o chamado "cinema de arte". Estava na moda se falar em Ed Wood - conhecido como o pior diretor de todos os tempos -, em Jose Mojica Marins e no produtor Roger Corman que, certa vez, ao responder sobre o que faria com um orc;amento de cem milh6es de d61ares para produzir um filme, disse: "Faria dez filmes de dez milh6es cad a". No infcio da decada de 90, o publico brasileiro se viu afrente de um fen6meno que, ate aquele memento, s6 dizia respeito aos americanos, com a sua tendencia de fazer convenc;6es e cultuar grande parte dos produtos da industria cultural, desde series de tv e revistas em quadrinhos ate os mais estranhos filmes produzidos. lsso nao quer dizer que esses filmes fos­ sem alga distante ou desconhecido do publico brasileiro. Muito pelo contrario. Horror e exploitation sempre foram populares no Brasil. Do Horror radiof6nico de I ncr!vel! Fantastical Extraordinario', deAimirante2 , ate a Espantomania3 do infcio dos anos 80. Parte dos filmes de que trataremos aqui, inclusive, passaram ou foram lanc;ados em video por aqui. Mas nunca considerados centro de atenc;ao. 0 fato e que sempre convivemos com essas produc;6es, chamadas B, trash ou exploitatives, mesmo sem perceber que existe uma distinyao- vaga em muitos casos- entre elas. 0 grande problema e que, por seu carater marginal, pode-se dizer, mesmo "maldito", quem gostava desses filmes nao assumia, ou se assumia, considerava-se uma excec;ao, um entre poucos. Em geral desprezadas pel a criticos e praticamente ignoradas nos meios acade­ micos, tais produc;oes eram vistas apenas pelo seu carater cac;a-nfqueis ou alienador, talvez 8 por serem consideradas o que de pi or a industria cultural pudesse impor. 0 modismo do trash no infcio dos 90, que teve como ponto culminante a 6"Mostra Ban­ co Nacional de Cinema, como todo o modismo foi passageiro. Apresentou ao publico brasilei­ ro o cinema de Ed Wood, deu novo f61ego e abriu as portas do mercado norte-americano ao trabalho de Jose ("Coffin Joe") Mojica Marins e, principal mente, serviu para mostrar que havia um Iugar ao sol para esse tipo de produyao, insinuando que esses filmes estranhos e bizarros representavam tanto os anseios do publico, como eram frutos de uma cultura popular. Oeste modo, mereceriam um outro tipo de atenyao e uma reavaliar;:ao, inclusive tirando do limbo os poucos produtores e diretores brasileiros que enveredaram por esse caminho. Assistir a esses filmes pode ser associado a sentar em volta da fogueira para ouvir hist6rias de assombrar;:ao, folhear solitario as paginas de uma revista de fotos provocantes, discutir em uma rodinha de amigos os detalhes macabros de algum crime ou ler em um jornal popular as noticias sobre a "loura do banheiro"4 ou outras criar;:Oes do imaginario coletivo.

  • Finn Ballard: No Trespassing: the Post-Millennial
    Page 15 No Trespassing: The post­millennial road­horror movie Finn Ballard Since the turn of the century, there has been released throughout America and Europe a spate of films unified by the same basic plotline: a group of teenagers go road­tripping into the wilderness, and are summarily slaughtered by locals. These films may collectively be termed ‘road­horror’, due to their blurring of the aesthetic of the road movie with the tension and gore of horror cinema. The thematic of this subgenre has long been established in fiction; from the earliest oral lore, there has been evident a preoccupation with the potential terror of inadvertently trespassing into a hostile environment. This was a particular concern of the folkloric Warnmärchen or ‘warning tale’ of medieval Europe, which educated both children and adults of the dangers of straying into the wilderness. Pioneers carried such tales to the fledging United States, but in a nation conceptualised by progress, by the shining of light upon darkness and the pushing back of frontiers, the fear of the wilderness was diminished in impact. In more recent history, the development of the automobile consolidated the joint American traditions of mobility and discovery, as the leisure activity of the road trip became popular. The wilderness therefore became a source of fascination rather than fear, and the road trip became a transcendental voyage of discovery and of escape from the urban, made fashionable by writers such as Jack Kerouac and by those filmmakers such as Dennis Hopper ( Easy Rider, 1969) who influenced the evolution of the American road movie.

  • This Installation Explores the Final Girl Trope. Final Girls Are Used in Horror Movies, Most Commonly Within the Slasher Subgenre
    This installation explores the final girl trope. Final girls are used in horror movies, most commonly within the slasher subgenre. The final girl archetype refers to a single surviving female after a murderer kills off the other significant characters. In my research, I focused on the five most iconic final girls, Sally Hardesty from A Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Laurie Strode from Halloween, Ellen Ripley from Alien, Nancy Thompson from A Nightmare on Elm Street and Sidney Prescott from Scream. These characters are the epitome of the archetype and with each girl, the trope evolved further into a multilayered social commentary. While the four girls following Sally added to the power of the trope, the significant majority of subsequent reproductions featured surface level final girls which took value away from the archetype as a whole. As a commentary on this devolution, I altered the plates five times, distorting the image more and more, with the fifth print being almost unrecognizable, in the same way that final girls have become. Chloe S. New Jersey Blood, Tits, and Screams: The Final Girl And Gender In Slasher Films Chloe S. Many critics would credit Hitchcock’s 1960 film Psycho with creating the genre but the golden age of slasher films did not occur until the 70s and the 80s1. As slasher movies became ubiquitous within teen movie culture, film critics began questioning why audiences, specifically young ones, would seek out the high levels of violence that characterized the genre.2 The taboo nature of violence sparked a powerful debate amongst film critics3, but the most popular, and arguably the most interesting explanation was that slasher movies gave the audience something that no other genre was able to offer: the satisfaction of unconscious psychological forces that we must repress in order to “function ‘properly’ in society”.

  • Sexo, Amor Y Cine Por Salvador Sainz Introducción
    Sexo, amor y cine por Salvador Sainz Introducción: En la última secuencia de El dormilón (The Sleeper, 1973), Woody Allen, desengañado por la evolución polí tica de una hipotética sociedad futura, le decí a escéptico a Diane Keaton: “Yo sólo creo en el sexo y en la muerte” . Evidentemente la desconcertante evolución social y polí tica de la última década del siglo XX parecen confirmar tal aseveración. Todos los principios é ticos del filósofo alemá n Hegel (1770-1831) que a lo largo de un siglo engendraron movimientos tan dispares como el anarquismo libertario, el comunismo autoritario y el fascismo se han desmoronado como un juego de naipes dejando un importante vací o ideológico que ha sumido en el estupor colectivo a nuestra desorientada generación. Si el siglo XIX fue el siglo de las esperanzas el XX ha sido el de los desengaños. Las creencias má s firmes y má s sólidas se han hundido en su propia rigidez. Por otra parte la serie interminable de crisis económica, polí tica y social de nuestra civilización parece no tener fin. Ante tanta decepción sólo dos principios han permanecido inalterables: el amor y la muerte. Eros y Tá natos, los polos opuestos de un mundo cada vez má s neurótico y vací o. De Tánatos tenemos sobrados ejemplos a cada cual má s siniestro: odio, intolerancia, guerras civiles, nacionalismo exacerbado, xenofobia, racismo, conservadurismo a ultranza, intransigencia, fanatismo… El Sé ptimo Arte ha captado esa evolución social con unas pelí culas cada vez má s violentas, con espectaculares efectos especiales que no nos dejan perder detalle de los aspectos má s sombrí os de nuestro entorno.

Signature:……………………………………… 3 Summary Due to their characteristic themes (such as „perverse‟ desire and monstrosity) and form (incoherence and excess), exploitation films are often celebrated as inherently subversive or transgressive. I critically assess such claims through a close reading of the films of the Spanish „sex and horror‟ specialist Jess Franco. My textual and contextual analysis shows that Franco‟s films are shaped by inter-relationships between authorship, international genre codes and the economic and ideological conditions of exploitation cinema. Within these conditions, Franco‟s treatment of „aberrant‟ and gothic desiring subjectivities appears contradictory. Contestation and critique can, for example, be found in Franco‟s portrayal of emasculated male characters, and his female vampires may offer opportunities for resistant appropriation.

  • Gendered Viewing Strategies: a Critique of Holocaust-Related Films That Eroticize, Monsterize and Fetishize the Female Body
    Title: Gendered Viewing Strategies: A Critique of Holocaust-related Films that Eroticize, Monsterize and Fetishize the Female Body. First Author: Dr Stacy Banwell Co-author: Dr Michael Fiddler Introduction In her chapter ‘Patriarchy, Objectification, and Violence against Women in Schindler's List and Angry Harvest’, Shapiro considers Schweickart’s essay on ‘Reading Ourselves: Toward a Feminist Theory of Reading.’1 In this essay Schweickart talks about androcentric reading strategies. This approach identifies texts that reproduce gender hierarchies, ascribing agency to men while objectifying and immascualting women. Drawing upon this work, Shapiro apples this to two Holocaust-related films: Spielberg’s (1993) Schindler’s List and Holland’s (1985) Angry Harvest. In her analysis of these films, Shapiro comes to the conclusion that in Schindler’s List the feminization of the objectified female ‘Other’ is taken for granted and therefore rendered invisible.2 This is in contrast to Angry Harvest – where the audience is asked to consider how violence is caused by gender inequalities and the objectification of women. This process of objectification and immasculation is illustrated in a sequence in Schindler’s List, where the Commandant of the Plaszow Forced Labor Camp, Amon Goeth (as played by Ralph Fiennes), bare-chested, aims his rifle at his naked Jewish mistress whilst she lies on his bed. Horowitz suggests that this scene equates masculinity with killing. The rifle here represents the penis. Further, as Goeth does not discharge his rifle and shoot her, but rather he moves past and urinates, this “…sequence equalizes the acts of shooting, fornication, and urination.” It “asserts an equivalence among Jews, his mistress, and the toilet, all repositories of Nazi effluvia.” Here we witness “[a]trocity…enacted with semen, urine, or gunshot.” 3 It is possible to view this equation as a critique of Nazism, patriarchy and male sexuality.
