Abstract
FQ columnist Manuel Betancourt discusses three recent Latin American spins on the horror genre: Huesera (Michelle Garza Cervera, 2022), Clara Sola (Nathalie Álvarez Mesén, 2021), and Medusa (Anita Rocha da Silveira, 2021). As modern feminist fables, these films consciously upend horror conventions, reworking rigid conceptions of female victimhood to reveal how a patriarchal system corrodes a woman’s sense of agency. Together, they show the way forward for a bolder kind of contemporary horror cinema with a decidedly feminist point of view.
