It does so by analyzing the politics of reproduction in contemporary films such as \u003ci\u003eEx Machina; Mary Shelley's Frankenstein; Mad Max: Fury Road; the Twilight saga\u003c\/i\u003e; and the original \u003ci\u003eAlien \u003c\/i\u003equadrilogy and its more recent prequels, \u003ci\u003ePrometheus \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e Alien: Covenant\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAuthor Sunny Hawkins argues that films which promote a \"monstrous philosophy\" of qualitative, affirmative difference as difference-in-itself, and which tend to be more molecular than molar in their expressions, can help us trace a \"line of flight\" from the gender binary in the real world. \u003ci\u003eDeleuze\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003ethe Gynesis of Horror \u003c\/i\u003edemonstrates how the techniques of horror film - editing, sound and visual effects, lighting and colour, camera movement - work in tandem with a film's content to affect the viewer's body in ways that disrupt the sense of self as a whole, unified subject with a stable, monolithic identity and, in some cases, can serve to breakdown the binary between self\/Other, as we come to realize that we are none of us static, categorizable beings but are, as Henri Bergson said, \"living things constantly becoming.\"\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSunny Hawkins\u003c\/b\u003e is the Director of Peer Tutoring and Writing Across the Curriculum at Butler University in Indianapolis, USA, where she teaches seminars on Gender and Horror Film.
