Tecnologias da Comunica o, Horror e Fic o Científica: o caso de três filmes brasileiros

This study is an analysis of three Brazilian films of the 1970’s whose stories brought back the fantasy of a violent past with the articulated interest in the possibilities of exploring unknown worlds through communication technologies. The intention is to investigate how a cultural universe strongly bonded to the mysticism around past lives and ancestral curses is connected to the technological imagination, repeating a phenomenon seen in several national cinematographies, but gained in Brazil some particular haracteristics.
