Slasher, sociedade e geração : uma análise da subversão narrativa em Halloween e Scream

Abstract

The slasher subgenre became an extremely profitable product starting in the 1980s, generating numerous sequels over the years until its decline. Due to its low-budget nature and lack of deep narrative exploration, it has often been regarded by critics and audiences as an inferior product. However, in this monograph, we will conduct a systematic analysis based on the classic narrative structure of this subgenre to understand its power of reinvention and subversion, and how it represents an intimate reflection of our society.
