Monstrous Femine - Carrie (1976)

  • Monstrous act occurs when she gets drenched in pig's blood - symbolises menstrual blood
  • Women are referred to as 'pigs', women 'bleed like pigs'
  • It runs down her body just as her own blood ran down her leg at the beginning of the film
  • Women's blood and pig's blood signify horror, shame and humiliation
  • Over-bearing mother
  • Absence of father
