21st century horror + “unhinged” female leads

“Perhaps what we’re witnessing in horror right now is not a commentary on a single anxiety, but a culmination of all the anxieties that exist in culture—the shit that’s built up, affecting generation after generation, especially women … who’ve internalized the brunt of trauma for so long and are only now able to channel it. The rage that stems from internalising trauma (while coddling men) … is perfectly visualised by Toni Collette literally crawling up the walls in Hereditary.” — Ryan Bradford

“This is what horror tells us—that in the collective unconscious of all women are psychic wounds so deep and raw that even to brush against them is to become a conduit for their primal violence… We self-censor our every reaction, debating endlessly with ourselves over which thoughts are permitted and which are forbidden or unclean… Perhaps that’s why, after so long spent boiling within us under such terrible and unrelenting pressure, women’s desires hold such power to fascinate and terrify.” — Gretchen Felker-Martin

I’m trying to expand this project and add all kinds of new features. If you want to help, you can pledge 1$ to my patreon here, and in exchange, you’ll get access to a second project where I try to create the coziest/warmest art collection on the internet.
