The politics of who identifies with who when viewing a horror film, and the thorough psychosexual analysis offers a lens I hadn’t watched films through before. Still, the anything that leans extremely heavily on Freud always gives me pause. Extremely dry and repetitive at times (I’ve been picking it up and setting it down for almost 5 years) I’ve learned I’m not a huge fan of footnotes (although I collected some films and books to add to my list throughout) . This is something I will revisit someday to annotate litter with my own opinions and analysis.
This is also such a fascinating text to me in the way that the genre has changed drastically since it was written, even within 5 years. I always say Carol Clover would love Ari Aster’s Hereditary and Ti West’s X!
