Description

In Blood for Blood, Darya Foroohar confronts the rape-revenge horror sub-genre by dissecting the 1979 classic, I Spit On Your Grave. Darya investigates why these films require graphic sexual violence against women to justify the revenge fantasies that follow, and how they fail the basic test of evoking fear in their viewers.

Darya’s complex and full comic essay dives deep and pushes back on the male gaze. It’s a compelling read for those with or without an interest in horror!
