Résumé anglais In two recent Brazilian horror films – O nó do diabo and O diabo mora aqui – there are phantasmagorias related to slavery. In these narratives, the violent past comes to the present as an unexpected irruption. Another contemporary film, Bacurau, places the actions in the future ; according to this dystopian narrative, a whole community is attacked by foreigners and finds way to resist and survive. A recent book, A nova ordem by Bernardo Kucinski is also constructed as a dystopian plot, presenting Brazil as a country under a totalitarian regime. These narratives have in common ruptures with linear references to time and formal resources coming from traditional horror. In this reflection, we discuss how important these common elements are in a country, which recently went through an authoritarian and regressive regime.
