Tiger Stripes review: Periods and demonic possession converge in declawed horror

Winner of the Gran Prix at Cannes Critics’ Week 2023, Amanda Nell Eu’s derivative feature debut

Horror has historically, and quite aptly, been the genre of choice for exploring the whirlwind of physical and emotional sensations inherent to experiencing one’s first menses. There’s the 1970 Czech dark fantasy hallmark Valerie And Her Week Of Wonders, Stephen ’s King’s novel Carrie followed by Brian De Palma ’s iconic film adaptation and Katherine Dunn ’s cult 1989 novel Geek Love, to name a few.

Is Zaffan truly marked for possession because she doesn’t adopt proper hygiene? Or is the spirit invoked by the stigma surrounding a period’s inherent “filth,” exemplified here by bullies who claim they can smell her “fishy” discharge? Tiger Stripes later asserts that this demon can be spread through scratches , yet our protagonist doesn’t appear to come into physical contact with any demonic entities before the arrival of her period.
