- Abstract:
- This article explores how the film "Mate-me por favor/Kill Me Please" (dir. Anita Rocha da Silveira, 2015) appropriates and subverts horror tropes in order to consider class, gender and generational concerns in contemporary Rio de Janeiro. It questions what the use of horror elements seeks to promote, and how this approach to the genre can be productive in discussions of the fears of growing up in a violent and sexist society. Published both in English and Portuguese.
