Inspired by Ryan Murphy's recent hot! hot! hot! series,The Beauty, Booth and Taylor-Foster discuss the emergence of a nascent subgenre in Horror. The subgenre in question? The aptly named 'Beauty Horror'. That's what we're calling it for now, at least.
Our obsession with youth and beauty might not be new, and neither is its exploration on the screen, but we've certainly seen a surge in horror movies over the past few years positioning the topic front and centre. Nicolas Winding Refn's stylish 2016 shockerThe Neon Demon, Coralie Fargeat's decorated The Substance from 2024, last year's stunningly grotesque debut from new Norwegian talent Emilie Blichfeldt, The Ugly Stepsister, and now, of course, The Beauty.
But why now? The ladies ride the somewhat slippery slope of gender politics, feminism, and beauty standards in an attempt to provide a meaty, visceral, honest, and intriguing look into our love/ hate relationship with beauty and how it has shaped cinematic history. Expect the usual highly intelligent conversation splattered with ridiculous humour – you'll find out exactly why Booth just loves the word MULCH.
