MLT 220 - Spanish Horror Films

Course Units: 1

Learn about Spain through some of its spookiest movies! In this course we examine some of the movies that have placed Spain at the forefront of critically acclaimed horror cinema (including some dark comedies to ease the tension!). We see how these films grapple with (among other issues) historical violence and political oppression,
Spain’s linguistic and cultural diversity, changing gender norms, and the fallout from economic crises. Students build skills in interpretation, writing, and research; become
familiar with the elements of various horror subgenres; and gain knowledge about Spain’s history, culture, and current social issues. Taught in English. (One course in English can
count toward Spanish major/minor.) CC: HUM, LCC, JCHF, JLIT, WAC ISP: FLM, GSWS,
