The representations of monstrous young women in the horror films of the 2010s, especially in the supernatural body horror films, differ from the previous horror films of the same sub-genre. The problem of this study is how these women and their bodies that oppose authority and adopt their own supernatural identity are represented. In this study, the representations of supernatural women in the new era of horror films will be discussed through the examples of Raw (Julia Ducournau, 2016), Thelma (Joachim Trier, 2017), Blue My Mind (Lisa Brühlmann, 2017), Wildling (Fritz Böhm, 2018). Through this study, an opportunity arises to examine the causes and backgrounds of these new developments and representations in body horror films that are parallel to the change in social life. It is aimed to contribute to the academic literature by examining the representations of supernatural women and their bodies in horror cinema in the context of feminist theory. The purpose of this study is to evaluate how these films have created change through their narrative, thematic and cinematographic preferences.
