Lindsay examines this notion of the Other in horror and science fiction (01:12), then we discuss Brian DePalma’s coming-of-age horror classic Carrie (07:55), and Paul Verhoeven’s sci-fi action satire Robocop (50:12). We finish with Honourable Mentions (01:32:02) of other films that also take us into the monster's point-of-view .
