Abstract

When blood pulls and kills: so-horrority in Rock, Paper and Scissors by Macarena García and Martín Blousson

Since classic films such as What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962) by Robert Aldrich, cinema has expressed a fascination with sisters and the complex filial bond that builds between them.This interest continues in films such as Sister (1973) by Brian de Palma, Ginger Snaps (2000) by John Fawce and Janghwa hongryeon (2003) by Kim Ji-Woon, among others, which show us how the bond between the sisters is marked by rivalry, complicity, pain, guilt and rage. In this regard, the film Stone, Paper and Scissors (2020) by Macarena García and Martín Blousson is a film that reenacts the sinister and violent dimension of the bond between sisters, allowing us to appreciate how the horrors, traumas, frustrations and crimes contained in the "traditional" family are concentrated and channeled through it, which under the heteropatriarchal-capitalist regime promotes so-horrority, a sinister version of sorority that feeds competition, greed and resentment between the sisters.
