Within the horror cinema, the notion of the monstrous arouses fear and/or disgust projected onto a designated monster figure, which is often a mother. This thesis aims to explain the root of that tendency by examining the representations of mothers in the film Perempuan Tanah Jahanam (2019) through the systematic framework of Feminist Stylistics formulated by Sara Mills (1995). Matricentric Feminism perspective assesses the immediately discernible images to form a sensible perception of the maternal roles, while the deeper implication behind it is dissected by finding out the way the film addresses the audience by the theory of Spectatorship. The findings of this research shed light on the intricate patterns in which maternal horror film navigates and reinstates societal preconceptions of motherhood and concluded that the representation of mothers in films ultimately functions to diffuse the spectator?s anxiety about the idea of mothering while abandoning what actual mothers need to dissolve theirs.
