Social commentary
Misogyny & Feminism in Horror Movies
Horror is where fears about women, and about the men around them, play out in the open. Across 35 episodes we looked at the male gaze in Silent Hill, the red flags and toxic relationships in Barbarian, Fresh and Midsommar, and the way Promising Young Woman isn't the rape-revenge story people expected. Ready or Not and The Invisible Man take on a woman's body being treated as someone else's property. Rosemary's Baby, Ginger Snaps and The Mummy ask what horror does with women's agency, adolescence and strength.
