    Confronting Demons: The Cathartic Power of Horror in Coping with Grief
    Filep, Fatime; Szendrei, Bianka; DE--Bölcsészettudományi Kar
    Through the lens of Jennifer Kent's The Babadook (2014), this thesis examines the ways in which the horror genre is excellent at portraying the phenomenon of grief. It explores the detrimental effects of grief on relationships, highlighting the societal pressure on the bereaved, especially widowed mothers to suppress their sorrow. The research also discusses the Kübler-Ross model, commonly known as the five stages of grief, and how it applies to The Babadook. It analyzes the supernatural elements in the film which serve as metaphors for the protagonist's inhibited grief. Ultimately, the central claim of the thesis is that horror films can be vital tools in grief recovery due to the various benefits they provide, such as representation and control, open discussion of death and grieving, and a narrative framework to help the bereaved contextualize their experiences.
