Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The anonymous critic of the Kinematograph Weekly, at the time of the film's release, called the cast "competent" and noted that the "plot [was] at least as old as H. G. Wells"1 but few others commented upon director Ian Curteis's debut film. Creed's text is an accessible articulation of feminist concerns surrounding the representation of women in fantasy which concentrates upon the representation of the castrating women in male horror fantasies such as Alien (Ridley Scott, GBAJS, 1979), particularly the pre-oedipal imagery of the vagina dentata (toothed vagina) (Creed 2-3).
