Synop­sis:

   The logic of horror films is based on the fear they pro­du­ce on the spec­ta­tor. In The horror, such dyna­mics are inver­ted by giving the audien­ce the sta­rring role –as if the film were on “this” side of the screen– and pre­sen­ting the pro­jec­ted cha­rac­ters in the movies as the “audien­ce” of the spec­ta­cle in the cine­ma thea­ter. Such an unu­sual pro­ta­go­nism enables the spec­ta­tor to ques­tion his or her tra­di­tio­nal posi­tion as a pas­si­ve par­ti­ci­pant when wat­ching a film; always depen­dent upon the pro­jec­ted illu­sion on the cine­ma screen.
