wheeler winston dixon theory:
Wheeler's said that...
- It is not the text of the film that matters but rather the certainty of torture, dismemberment, violent death and cruelty. - Women and men in horror film are sites of activity, situations rather than characters. - The horror film must horrify the audience. - Contemporary horror films proceed on the assumption that violence, degradation and ritual torture are inescapable. - The destruction of the body in the horror film of the 1990's in the act that cleanses the body of disease.
