Asymmetric warfare

Benjamin Moldenhauer & Christoph Spehr

What gave us the modern horror film to communicate about the world outside the cinema? The cultural criticism plunges like the metaphor: the zombies are losers, the chain saw is the phallus. However, no one is - by cultural scientists apart - because of the metaphors to the movies. The combination of film and experience, that is what we pick up elsewhere. In the dramatic aesthetics, which teaches us that the world is a more terrible place than we assume. And in plots and action patterns that tell them that and how even in postmodern times, nor can be a politician. Successful horror films are symbolic in exercises of asymmetric warfare.
