시각적 공포요소가 등장인물과 직접적으로 대치하고 물리적으로 영향을 끼치는 것과 달리 비가시적 공포요소는 암시와 상상을 통해 표현되며 그 실체가 드러나지 않는다. 비가시적 공포요소가 실체를 드러내기 위해서는 '디아더스'와 같이 공포의 주체와 피해자의 관계가 전복되거나, '해프닝'과 '파라노말 액티비티'에서처럼 신체강탈이라는 방법으로 표현된다. 관계의 전복은 갑작스러운 성격의 변화를 야기하고, 신체강탈은 타인의 신체를 취한다는 점에서 식인행위와 연결된다. 식인행위와 성격의 변화는 카니발리즘에서 따르는 하위질서의 공식화와 비논리성에 속하는 것이다. 영화에서 나타나는 비가시적인 공포요소가 지니는 의미는 유토피아적 자유의 영역으로 들어간다는 카니발리즘의 본래의 의미와는 상반되어 보이지만 역할을 뒤집어 공포로 인한 갈등과 긴장이 해소되고 공포로부터 해방된다는 면에서 볼 때, 카니발의 정신인 '자유의 영역'으로 들어간다는 것과 의미가 상통할 것이다. 저자는 본 연구에서 비가시적 공포요소가 나타나는 영화의 표현과 플롯이 카니발리즘과 어떠한 관계를 가지는지 분석해 보려고 한다.

This study is on the image of a woman's body exposure, expressed in various situations or images in the modern fashion. The results of this study can be summarized as the following. First, either the exposure or stress of a woman's specific body parts like breast, waist, hips, or legs which can be sensed totally different from man's or the ironic disclosure of body parts always lapped around emphasizes femininity by giving full play the unique sexual beauty of a woman's body. Second, the desire of disclosure to have others' attention with the concealment as suggestive exposure expresses the eroticism. The modified eroticism is found different from the conventional concept and is based on the desire to make others notice one's existence continually by the sexual exposure dress particularly to entire the other sex, the dismantlement of changing an underwear to an outer-dress, and so forth. Third, both exposure of a woman's sexual body parts and expression of exposure to the utmost by laying a woman's entire body bare can mean sex liberty in the laissez-faire generation. This may suggest a pleasure-oriented way of thinking of the self-consolation rather than showing others, or feature the personality and the liberty endowed women with.
