This is an over the
shoulder shot of Ana attacking a zombie with a metal rod. Straight away we
can say that that the censorship of
gore is a lot less strict to that of the original version of the film in 1979.
This is due to the context of horror
is getting harsher to shock the audience as much as possible. We can also say
that the ideology of sadism is seen a lot more in horror
films to make as much impact on the audience as possible. For example in a
scene in modern horror film “Hostel”, a surgeon is getting enjoyment out of
torturing a guy. This is a perfect example of sadism which means personally I
don’t think Ana is being sadistic she is just protecting herself. Ana in this
scene is also going against the character
stereotype of blonde female victim. Despite her blonde hair, she has many
characteristics that show she is the final
girl of the film. Her background of being a nurse makes her good with gore,
this modern change connotes the
continuing rise of feminism.
