'Evil : A Study of Lost Techniques' with Jason Bahbak Mohaghegh
Acid Horizon
Evolving Horrors: From Monsters to Moral Reflections
This chapter examines the shift in horror cinema from identifiable monsters to a more abstract and pervasive sense of evil, highlighting films like 'The Witch' and 'Midsommar'. It explores the philosophical implications of this transition, discussing themes of acceptance and resignation in confronting evil, alongside critiques of modern society's fascination with customizable narratives and novelty-seeking behaviors. The discussion further critiques contemporary comedy, societal anxieties, and the duality of language, ultimately calling for a reconsideration of idleness and resistance against modernity's demands.
