Abstract

This article provides an understanding of the existing associations between the narrative of the Argentine cinematographic work Necrofobia (2014) and the structure of modern cynicism, according to Peter Sloterdijk (1987), in order to analyze how the film in question works its artistic horror narrative for the construction of the representation of real social horror. From the analysis of cinema as a form of reflection of society, worked by Siegfried Kracauer (1985), the text takes the narrative of the audiovisual work to explore the relationship between the modern cynicism that entered Latin American society and the fascist ideology that articulates in the narrative arc of the protagonist of the work.
