Question – How are elements of the feminist film theory represented in the horror genre?
Films – Alien (1979, by Ridley Scott) and Happy Death Day (2017, by Christopher Landon)
Areas to talk about:

- Second wave feminism
- Social and historical context
- Possibly geographical context? (binary oppositions of US and UK production?)
- Technical elements of scenes and shots
