Occult Horror: Rosemary's Baby & Apartment 7A, Jennifer's Body & Argento's Phenomenon & The Sect
In this piece, Jay Dyer humorously recounts his haircut experience before diving into a cultural analysis of horror films, particularly those by Dario Argento, examining themes of occultism, trauma, and mind control. He critiques films like "Rosemary's Baby," "Jennifer's Body," and others for their depictions of psychological manipulation and ritualistic practices, suggesting they reflect deeper societal issues linked to real-life occultism and figures like Silvio Berlusconi. Dyer connects the artistic portrayals in these films to broader themes of violence and power dynamics while also exploring the implications for the artists involved. Throughout, he engages with contemporary cultural narratives, including conspiracy theories and the influence of pop culture, providing a thought-provoking critique of horror cinema's engagement with both historical and modern societal themes.
