Описание: Exploring Relief in Horror Films: From 'Friday the 13th' to 'The Thing'

In this episode of The Mood Organ, host Sean Ferrell delves into the concept of relief in horror films. He examines how different movies depict relief, whether it's vicarious, temporary, or mixed with lingering dread. Sean discusses 'Friday the 13th' (1980), where the final scene mixes relief and shock; 'Alien' (1979) and its sequel 'Aliens' (1986), exploring long-term relief and its destabilization; 'It Follows' (2014), showcasing complicity in relief; and 'The Thing' (1982), which blends paranoia and ambiguous relief to make viewers question their sense of safety.
