Abismos, espejos y ojos: el terror elevado a través de Jordan Peele

Abstract

High terror is characterized by its minimalist stylization and profound themes that explore dark aspects of the human condition, diverging from the conventional resources of commercial horror cinema. Using the cinema of Jordan Peele as an example, this article seeks to delve into this cycle of films, deepening into their techniques and the meanings that are hidden beneath the terror narratives they unfold. Likewise, we propose that as powerful generators of meanings, this is something we find present in horror cinema throughout the history of the medium.
