The feminist perspective towards the so called \u201clow body genres\u201d changed with the launch of  the book \u201cMen, women and chain saws\u201d (1992) by Carol Clover as well as Linda William\u2019s \u201cHard Core\u201d (1989). Until then, genres such as horror were mainly condemned by feminist writings, as they were regarded as a cinema, which was solely made for a male audience, often serving to fulfill sadistic pleasures. \u2028\u201cMen, women and chainsaws\u201d and \u201cHard core\u201d also attracted attention, as it emerged from an acknowledged, elite academic background, with both authors being scholars at the University of California, Berkeley. Today both the authors are still professors at the Berkeley University. Although never denying the misogynistic subtexts in those genres, the authors opened the door and gave way for a feminist reading, which went beyond the established and often negative attitudes towards these genres.<\/p>\n

\u201cScience of horror\u201d is an attempt to introduce these new cycles of ideas. It quite consciously opens with the recurring famous topics of horror, such as \u201ccensorship\u201d and \u201ccatharsis\u201d, but speedily develops into a discourse, which shifts the focus on gender related approaches. By doing this, the film aims at covering a broad scientific perspective towards the genre, while touching upon issues that have not been discussed in film before. \u2028The equality approach of filmmakers and theorists within the film, is a way to explore the genre from different perspectives. In addition, it serves as a comment on the often neglected influence, which the two disciplines, filmmaking and film criticism, have on each other.<\/p>\n
