    "abstract": "This article focuses on several sexploitation films of Cuban director Jorge Molina (\nMolina’s Ferozz\n, \nMolina’s Solarix\n, and \nMolina’s Mofo\n). It analyzes how these films address issues such as fetishism, voyeurism, the male gaze on women, and the female figure as a threat. The study examines the thematic, representational, and ideological variants related to exploitation cinema that Molina introduces in \nMolina’s Ferozz\n regarding the canonical versions of \nLittle Red Riding Hood\n. I argue that Molina’s films update the moral imperatives of the classical exploitation cinema; they become cautionary tales in which the pursuit of individual pleasure leads to disaster through the close link between sex and death. I also claim that Molina’s narratives likewise expose and capitalize on topics such as the monstrous woman or the violence on the female body; hence they are ambiguous objects, whose “oppositional taste” (Jancovich et al. 2) is linked to a traditionalism about sexual politics and gender.\nEste artículo estudia algunos filmes \nsexploitation\n del director cubano Jorge Molina, como \nMolina’s Ferozz\n, \nMolina’s Solarix\n y \nMolina’s Mofo\n. Se analiza cómo estos filmes tratan asuntos como el fetichismo, el voyerismo, la mirada masculina sobre la mujer y la figura femenina como amenaza. Se examina además las variantes temáticas, representacionales e ideológicas relacionadas con el cine \nexploitation\n que Molina introduce en \nMolina’s Ferozz \ncon respecto a las versiones canónicas de \nCaperucita Roja\n. Propongo que los filmes de Molina actualizan los imperativos morales del cine \nexploitation\n clásico, en tanto se tornan relatos admonitorios en los cuales la búsqueda del placer individual conduce al desastre, a través del vínculo estrecho entre sexo y muerte. Sostengo además que las narrativas de estos filmes a la vez exponen y capitalizan tópicos como la mujer monstruosa o la violencia sobre el cuerpo femenino, de ahí que se convierten en objetos ambiguos, cuyo “oppositional taste” (Jancovich et al. 2) está vinculado a un tradicionalismo sobre el género y las políticas sexuales.",
