Stepford Daughters: Weapons for Feminists in Contemporary Horror Isaacson Johanna
Capitalism and patriarchy create monsters--but inside the darkness there lurks a strange utopia.In Stepford Daughters, Johanna Isaacson explores an emerging wave of horror films that get why class horror and gender horror must be understood together. Films like Hereditary and The Babadook show women coming apart at the seams as the promises of both the family and waged work fail them. In doing so, Isaacson makes the case that this often-maligned genre is in fact a place where oppressed people can understand, navigate and confront an increasingly ugly and horrifying world.What happens when your smile is no longer yours?
In "coming of rage" films such as Assassination In Get Out, we see how poor women and women of color perform the invisible labor that holds up our society, experiencing domestic work as a kind of possession.
