TEXTS AND ESSAYS

A feminist exposé on the shortcomings of psychoanalytical theory in formulating a relevant critique of David Cronenberg's Rabid (1977).

A study of the moving camera aesthetics in Suspiria (1977), Predator (1987) and The Evil Dead II (1987). Probably got an A+ for this one.

The Cronenbergian Maieutics
A study of David Cronenberg's filmography focusing on his recurrent exploration and uncanny depiction of man's most visceral instincts. Probably got an A+ for this one.

A personal, and frankly whiny exploration of my childhood infatuation with horror cinema.

A short introduction in which I set myself some strenuous objectives that I managed to achieve only in my most demented moments of inspiration.
