MOVIES: SCIENCE OF HORROR - IF THE CHAINSAW IS A PENIS - EXCLUSIVE TRAILER PREVIEW
Science of Horror
Trailer 1
Soundtrack by Fantômas! What else do you need to know? Read the list of protagonists. There is another trailer which is completely different. Check it out at www.ScienceOfHorror.de. There is a whole lotta info over there. Have a look and help us promote this flick!

Description:
Horror films are pornographic and eroticise the abject. Yet, they relieve, they are humorous and challenge cultural taboos. “Science Of Horror” is the first documentary to analyze horror film from the perspective of feminist film critique. Carol Clover discovers the final girl in “Texas Chainsaw Masscare”, an androgynous but clearly feminine hero. Therewith, Clover delivers an essential formula of the genre and the foundation for further assumptions. Women are horror’s favourite victims but also its heroes. The phallus, indicator of social power, becomes a flexible object in horror: The chainsaw in the final girl’s hands allows a different look on the cultural norms of Western societies – the genre undermines heterosexual attribution. It is with that theory in mind, that Judith Halberstam develops a queer reading of the genre and illustrates along the “Chucky” series how explicitly sexuality runs through horror and which sexual vicissitudes the genre offers. Those theoretic assumptions are proven with citations from well-known horror films and confronted with statements of renowned filmmakers. Thus, the documentary is the first to lead a discourse between film theory and film practice. Wes Craven, John Carpenter and Tom Savini comment on their films and their fans. Bruce Campbell explains why he depicts a male victim in the “Evil Dead” movies. Joe Hill criticizes torture porn because of its shallowness, whereas Neil Marshall elucidates why “The Descent” consciously plays with audience’s expectations. The documentary concludes that there is more to the genre than the sum of its effects. Horror is utterly unique.

Synopsis (DEUTSCH):
Horrorfilme sind pornographisch und erotisieren das Abscheuliche. Dennoch befreien sie, sind humorvoll und rütteln an kulturellen Tabus. "Science of Horror" dokumentiert zum ersten Mal den Horrorfilm aus der Sicht feministischer Filmkritik. So entdeckt Carol Clover in „Texas Chainsaw Massacre“ das final girl, ein androgyner, dennoch eindeutig weiblicher Held. Damit liefert Clover eine grundlegende Formel des Genres und ein Fundament für weiterführende Thesen. Frauen sind des Horrors Lieblingsopfer, aber auch seine Helden. Der Phallus als sozialer Machtindikator wird im Horror zu einem flexiblen Objekt: Die Kettensäge in den Händen des final girl erlaubt einen anderen Blick auf die Normen westlicher Gesellschaften – heterosexuelle Zuschreibungen werden vom Genre unterwandert. Ausgehend davon entwickelt Judith Halberstam eine „queer“ Lesart des Genres und erläutert anhand der „Chucky“ Serie, wie explizit Sexualität den Horrorfilm durchdringt und welche sexuellen Spielarten das Genre dem Publikum anbietet. Die filmtheoretischen Thesen werden mit Zitaten aus bekannten Horrorfilmen belegt und den Aussagen renommierter Filmemacher gegenübergestellt. Der Film schafft somit erstmalig Raum für einen Diskurs zwischen Filmtheorie und Filmpraxis. Wes Craven, John Carpenter und Tom Savini äußern sich zu ihren Filmen und ihren Fans. Bruce Campbell erklärt, warum er in den „Evil Dead“ Filmen ein männliches Opfer darstellt und welche Intention dahinter steckt. Joe Hill kritisiert das torture porn ob seiner flachen Machart und Neil Marshall erläutert, warum „The Descent“ bewusst mit den Erwartungen des Publikums spielt. Die Dokumentation kommt zu dem Schluss, dass das Genre mehr ist als die Summe seiner Effekte und der ihm entgegengebrachten Vorurteile. Horror ist absolut einzigartig.

The working title was "Screen Terror"

MOVIES: E.T. - DELETED SCENE STARRING HARRISON FORD
Yes, it's true, Harrison Ford played the teacher, but you can't see his face! The scene wasn't in the movie and it never appeared on any dvd, but for some reason it's on YouTube.
