Deriving its name from Noël Carroll’s seminal book on the poetics of horror, Lichter and Máté use excerpts from the text as framing devices to move from scholarly taxonomy to visceral affect as a pair of film prints are cut, scratched, painted, overlapped, and recombined to a point of mesmerizing and indecipherable grisliness. The victims of choice? A certain 80’s classic concerning a vengeful monster that kills teenagers in their dreams, and its sequel.
