SUMMARY:

The present work investigates the female monstrosity represented within cinematographic works of the Horror genre directed by women. Through the analysis of several films directed by women, it is intended to understand which new potentialities arise from the figure of the monstrous feminine from the moment when female directors
and screenwriters begin to create their own narratives and to participate in cinema as active creators, and they also become creatures as they place their own monstrosity, female monstrosity, as an object of exploitation. Through self-representation - female filmmakers portraying monstrous women - the monstrous figures escape the gaze of the 'other' and create an unusual filmic product, bringing with it new aesthetic and narrative
possibilities and potential. The research asks the following question: “What can a monstrous body do?” The thesis proposes the hypothesis that this monstrous body has the potential to be a possibility of political existence outside the shadows of patriarchy and heteronormativity. The research's theoretical apparatus highlights the work of authors such as Paul B. Preciado, Julia Kristeva, Judith Butler, Gilbert Durand and Silvia Federici, among other theorists who are dedicated to researching aesthetic experience, monstrosity and gender studies.
