Resumo: In 2017, Stephen King’s literary work It (1986) was made into a film by the hands of filmmaker Andy Muschietti. Born in Argentina in 1973, Muschietti gained notoriety in cinema due to the horror film Mama (2013). Muschietti has declared his passion for King’s work since he was 14 and acknowledged the challenge of adapting that novel of over a thousand pages for the screen. This article aims to make a reflection on the construction of fear in the film It (2017), in the light of studies in the fantastic genre. We build on the literary scholarship of Lovecraft (1973), Todorov (1981), Bauman (2008), França (2017) and Araújo (2018), among others, as well as Aumont (1995) and Messias (2016) in the field of film studies. We argue that, looking for tropes of the fantastic genre and considering a film to be a piece of text composed of sounds, images and shots, we can analyze how uncanny elements and other devices are deployed in It to build up the sensation of fear in the viewer.

Nascido na Argentina, em 1973, Muschietti ganhou notoriedade no cinema por conta do filme de terror Mama (2013). Muschietti declara sua paixão pela obra de King desde os 14 anos e reconheceu o desafio de adaptar para as telas as mais de mil páginas do romance do escritor norte-americano. Nesse sentido, este artigo traz à baila reflexões sobre a construção do medo na narrativa cinematográfica It: a coisa (2017). Para tanto, analisamos a película pelo viés do fantástico, a partir dos apontamentos de Lovecraft (1973), Todorov (1981), Bauman (2008), França (2017) e Araújo (2018). No campo do cinema, buscamos suporte em Aumont (1995) e Messias (2016). Defendemos que através do fantástico, é possível reconhecer a presença de recursos insólitos para construção do medo no filme. Assim, por ser um texto composto por sons, imagens e planos, a narrativa cinematográfica potencializa o pavor no espectador.Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul2021-03-09info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionmétodo analítico exploratórioapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/intexto/article/view/9252510.19132/1807-8583202152.92525Intexto; No. 52 (2021); 92525Intexto; Núm. 52 (2021); 92525Intexto; No. 52 (2021); 92525Intexto; N. 52 (2021); 92525Intexto; n. 52 (2021); 925251807-8583reponame:Intexto (Porto Alegre)instname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSporhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/intexto/article/view/92525/60777Copyright (c) 2021 Naiara Sales Araújo, José Antonio Morae Costahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAraújo, Naiara SalesCosta, José Antonio Moraes2023-02-08T18:53:10Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/92525Revistahttp://seer.ufrgs.br/intextoONGhttp://seer.ufrgs.br/intexto/oai||intexto@ufrgs.br1807-85831807-8583opendoar:2023-02-08T18:53:10Intexto (Porto Alegre) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
