Abstract
In 2023, the publishing centre of the Kyiv University of Culture published an interesting and perhaps unusual monograph by Khrystyna Batalina entitled The Child as the Embodiment of Evil in Horror Films of the Twentieth and Twenty- First Centuries. This scholar’s study of children’s images in the world and Ukrainian works of audiovisual art in the horror genre will help to reveal the deep aspects of human psychology and cultural stereotypes associated with the depiction of children in horror films as the embodiment of evil and its accidental carriers. While babies are mostly associated with innocence and safety, they can also sometimes represent threat and fear, particularly in the context of verbal and on-screen narratives.
