horror part 5

hell is a teenage girl

for my 4d project i chose to make a short video inspired by the “horrors” of being a teenage girl. the video starts with the iconic opening line from the movie ‘jennifers body’, a favourite of mine. midway through, the iconic line from the movie pearl. both of the main protagonists in these movies are teenage girls.

i wanted to take a spin on the traditional sense of horror and focus on what horror makes you feel. when i think of horror and the typical response towards the genre the words : uncomfortable, uneasy and disturbing come to mind. all these things can be felt just by existing as a teenage girl. wether its pressure from peers, i wanting to fit in or the over-sexualisation of adolescents in the media, they all have a similar feeling as a response.
