**Note: This episode explicitly discusses sexual violence.
**There are some spoilers for two movies (Revenge & Ms 45).
In the spirit of halloween, we watched two classic rape revenge films: Coralie Fargeat’s (2017) Revenge and Abel Ferrara’s (1981) Ms 45.
Dr. Jessica Evans joins Mandi and Vanshika in this episode. Dr. Evans is an assistant professor in Criminology at Toronto Metropolitan University and horror film enthusiast. We discuss (aka gently debate) the possibilities of horror as a genre from a feminist perspective.
If you have experienced sexual violence and are in need of additional support, use this directory to find a sexual assault centre or other relevant supports near you.
Other revenge recommendations included: MFA, Promising Young Woman, and Jennifer's Body.
Not so recommended but critical to the genre: Spit on your grave
Our overall horror film favourites: Hush (Vanshika), Midsommar (Mandi), Alien (Jessica)
