Sexual Perversity

Horror has long been a field that pushes boundaries and embraces societal taboos. Sex has been a theme or undercurrent in horror films for decades and can blur the line between exploitation and perversity. This week Jerry & Matt look at two very different films with sex and perversion at the center of their narratives. Teeth from 2007 is a dark, comedic take on a mythological deformity, vagina dentata. Antichrist from 2009 is a brooding, twisted exploration of grief and psychologic body horror, a depressing arthouse film that is definitely not for everyone.
