Dissertação (Mestrado em Artes, Cultura e Linguagens) - Instituto de Artes e Design, Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora, Juiz de Fora, 2024.https://deposita.ibict.br/handle/deposita/674This study brings together Brazilian horror films made in the 2010s with those made in the mid-1970s and 1980s. Both periods are marked by an expressive cinematographic production of the genre in Brazil, and in both it’s possible to notice a certain hybridism that deviates from the conventions established by foreign cinema. Our aim is to analyze films from both these periods based on image and sound, believing that the fear they intend to cause in the audience is not only conditioned by the narrative, but also by their formal elements. To this end, we analyzed how shock and aggression occur through the gaze in Shock and Kill Me Please. The concept of diffuse artistic horror was also proposed to understand films in which the object of fear does not seem well determined. This concept was applied to Angel of the Night and Hard Labor, investigating how fear is constructed through what is seen on screen, the off-screen and the sound. The relationships between territory and invasion were also analyzed, focusing on the study of the films Enigma for the Devil and The Cannibal Clubapplication/pdfopenAccessHorrorCinema brasileiroEncenaçãoHorrorBrazilian cinemaMise-en-scèneLinguísticaLetrasArtesDissertação
