Reframing Femininty in The Face of Horror Tropes
Slasher Theme directed by Eva Frezza
Premise
“The shoot focused on emulating and commentating on the traditional roles of women in the “Slasher” film genre. With a specific focus on the main three tropes of the virgin, the tomboy, and the sexual women, we created a shoot to highlight the inadequacies of the classic set up. Overall, our goal was to flip the narrative that the shoot prompted the viewer to rethink the slasher genre and its portrayal of women” - Eva Frezza
