#horror movies about motherhood my beloved

[autism-swagger]

Just got back from seeing Abigail. Very good movie 👍 I enjoyed it.

[mod2amaryllis]

just gonna sliiide into your inbox to be like. got any complicated relationship with motherhood recs?? cause I'm👀

👁️👁️ b i s c i a.

the first rec is always for all time The Broken Earth trilogy by NK Jemisin

talk about books that changed my brain chemistry and boosted my writing, especially the fifth season, which pulls a narrative trick with its 3 main character perspectives that still has me reeling and makes me resent the fact that not every protagonist is an exhausted middle aged mother who's haunted by choices and horrors of her own making!!

The Devourers by Indra Das

a take on werewolves that's at times genuinely sickening to read, esp for my body-horror-scawy ass. lot of upsetting themes fyi, like. all the themes. are upsetting. but i was left feeling like I'd just gotten the world's most dire hug. also trans allegory out the wazoo.

i feel like this one is really obligatory like yeah no shit Beloved by Toni Morrison but still: Beloved by Toni Morrison

I've never felt smart enough for this book but i think about it constantly, not just because the contents are so traumatic but the way it's written..... even now i feel like such a dunce trying to say anything about it but it's like. it broke rules in my brain about how books are supposed to be structured and understood. there's a chapter that ends in a stream of thought that's borderline incomprehensible and it's in my head forever.

ok little different now and largely positive mushy gushy mom stuff, but a lot of Brandi Carlile's songs, especially The Mother:

and her whole In These Silent Days album. particularly it's celebrating lesbian motherhood. Mama Werewolf is awesome and introduces that complication that makes me ravenous, but my favorite is her love song to her wife, You And Me On The Rock

there's a song exploder podcast episode about it. she talks about how it's an homage to her good friend Joni Mitchell, how it's about this very feminine love she shares with her wife and daughter (and now also her son) and how she spent some of her youth grappling with that femininity.

speaking of song exploder!!!!!! the episode for Song For Our Daughter by Laura Marling

Laura Marling and her partner don't have children. this song is a hypothetical about the trauma of being a girl and having your boundaries crossed when you're young. but what absolutely destroys me is that there's a string section, which was written by a violinist to whom she gave creative liberty, and in his strings he says, "i wrote this to be the character of The Daughter, so she's here in the song soaring over everything" and it just. hearing the context and then listening to the song........i show this episode to anyone who's stuck in a car with me 25 minutes.

on the subject of music, of course there's Florence + The Machine's 2022 album Dance Fever, particularly King

like hell yeah let's get primal with it

and ok this is gonna clock my grew up as a theatre kid ass but still, to this day, Next To Normal.

listening to this show as a teenager who was just starting to hate my (wonderful awesome love her) mom was like......hoooooo. it blew open the my-parents-are-human empathy. idc about like whether or not this musical lives up to the insane hype it got in the late 2000s it just meant a lot to me personally.

also there's movies i guess! but if you're not already on the Everything Everywhere All At Once train idk what we're doing

then my oldest mom-centric media of all, so old that I'm not even sure how well it holds up to my current person sensibilities, Fruits Basket

the way her death is the inciting incident for everything that happens after, and how she's a ghost that haunts the rest of the story, at times a protective spirit and at other times a traumatic poltergeist, is like. i thought i was a 13yo reading a magical high school romance what's happening to me.

then of course the current rec, Priestdaddy by Patricia Lockwood

Lockwood is a poet and this is her memoir about growing up with a Catholic priest for a dad, something that in itself seems contradictory. it's phenomenal. i can't believe someone exists who's this good at writing. her relationship with her mother is hilariously, tenderly depicted and it's questioning and resentful and loving and there's a chapter about them called the cum queens of the hyatt palace and it's the funniest thing I've ever read

oops too many words

motherhood in media borders on fixation for me lol i don't always seek it out but when it's there I'm like AAAAAAAAH, AAAAAAAH AAAAAAAAAAAAH AAAAAH IS ANYONE ELSE SEEING THIS GRAAAAAHHHH!!!!

........oh and undertale. how could i forget Undertale.

Beloved and the themes of motherhood & rape within the family

Beloved is not an easy watch. I had heard of it many times before, but to be honest, I never even knew what it was about. I knew it was famous Black literature and I had put it on my book list (I still want to read it), but I didn’t know what to expect. It tells the story of a fugitive woman killing her children so they wouldn’t be enslaved again, and it makes me wonder, was she in the right for it? In the scene where the white men, Halle and Baby Suggs come in to find she has killed her children, they look at her disturbed and with disgust at what she has done. My first reaction was the same, that what she did is wrong, vile. Why take someone’s life, basically commit suicide for them, so to say, if they might still have the will to live. But I’m not a mother and I have not been enslaved, so honestly, I wouldn’t know her pain, the horror she felt when she saw the determined white men coming.

It is a reflection on motherhood, and it reminds me of the short story Bride Before You, where a mother gives birth to twins- a highly distinguished (light skin!) son, and a (dark skin) daughter that is born into the body of a spider. At the end of the short story, I thought the mother was killing the spider-daughter for the sake of her son – another mother who kills her child? –, But no, she just breaks the child out of her spider-shell and saves her from her doom.

Beloved additionally falls under the disturbing theme of young daughters having sexual relations with father-figures. Beloved comes onto Paul D and persuades him to sleep with her. Another movie with this theme that we have watched is Eve’s Bayou, which leaves it open whether the father attempted to rape his daughter or whether the daughter came onto him. This reminded me of I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings, the 1969 autobiography by Maya Angelou, in which she also describes how she got raped by her mother’s boyfriend, and The Color Purple, where Celie gets raped repeatedly by who she thinks is her father but turns out to be her stepfather. I wonder why this is a recurring theme, but it certainly fits into the genre of horror.

i saw you wanted to watch censor and saint maud, just wanted to say both are REALLY good!! i think i prefer saint maud (the ending shot is haunting), but both are really interesting slow burn character driven (/weird girl representation), i hope you enjoy them when you watch them :) do you have any movie recs? (just kind of generally...i'm always looking for more movies to add to my neverending watch list LOL) <3

omg yes!! i think of the reviews ive seen from my mutuals im probaly gonna end up liking saint maud more, but im simply so obsessed with the concept of censor because a lot of my favorite horror movies are ones on the video nasty list and the concept of horror censorship is something i feel really strongly about so im just really excited to watch it <3 also i love and need more weird girls in media

as for movie recs i feel like im not as qualified as some of my beloved mutuals but here are some movies that i think are fascinating that not a lot of people talk about:

Good Manners (As Boas Maneiras) 2017, werewolf movie but also a horror of motherhood and queerness and coming of age story as well. its probably my favorite werewolf movie ive seen, this movie says so much in an emotionally genuine way <33

Tangerine 2015, i think a lot of people know of this movie but havent seen it, or have seen it but dont talk about it enough <3 i think sean baker is one of the most empathetic filmmakers of the last ten years, and if not a perfect film, there is so much to be talked about in this movie

Bound 1996, i think more people have been talking about this one lately but i really cant recommend it enough its so important.

In the Mouth of Madness 1994, this is my favorite john carpenter film, i like it more than the thing godbless <3 perhaps sam neill has biased me but so be it

Beloved‘s title character is a girl who shows up, weird-witted and dripping wet, on ex-slave Sethe’s doorstep in Ohio. If Beloved were a ghost story, the question of who Beloved is and what she wants would animate the rest of the book. Morrison actually wrote more and less than a ghost story: the less is glimpsed in the immediacy with which these questions find answers: first Sethe’s daughter Denver, then Sethe herself, come to the conclusion that Beloved is the revenant spirit of Sethe’s dead child. She even has the scar to prove it.

The more is that this answer, once stated, is never final. By the end of the book, the town is unanimous on the dead-daughter theory, though where Sethe has responded with a self-abnegating imitation of motherhood, they resolve the situation with a climactic exorcism. At the same time, we hear murmurs of other opinions, notably that Beloved was a girl “locked up in the house with a whiteman over by Deer Creek” -- a more naturalistic story, and one that underscores Sethe’s own guilt over her daughter’s death and need to replace her. There’s a less naturalistic story too. Beloved is allowed to speak for herself just once, in a surreal and disjointed narrative about “a hot thing” that recalls at once the Middle Passage and the grave. “All of it is now  it is always now  there will never be a time when I am not crouching and watching others who are crouching too...” White people, “men without skin”, push a hill of dead people into the sea with poles, among them a woman “with my face” that Beloved comes to think is Sethe. Now, in a book about the continuing ripples of trauma wrought by slavery, Beloved comes to stand for its founding horror, and refers an already multigenerational story to a centuries-old history.

I don’t mean to talk about Beloved per se, but to use it as an illustration of how contradictory facts can simultaneously function in a narrative. If Beloved were just a family ghost, just an abuse victim mistaken for one, or just a metonym for the slave ships, the novel would be a ghost story, a detective story, or just overwritten. Instead, Morrison raises all these possibilities, and never asks for a definite answer; in doing so, she links Sethe’s own guilt, the primal evil of the slave ships, and the ongoing abuses of post-slavery racism.

This should lead us to a more general principle: If a story gives several answers to a question, all are true.

While the Principle of Non-Contradiction rules reality, at least for the time being, stories have always enjoyed more freedom. Our impulse to reconstruct their unwritten details along classical-logical lines is an impulse to make their worlds real. This impulse, the mere attempt to fill out the consistent fictional world the stories purportedly describe, dominates popular discourse about narrative, as far as the highly speculative “Rugrats are dead” sort of fan-theories -- it’d be legitimate to tell r/fantheories that the Simpsons are Lisa’s dream, but not to argue that Bart and Lisa are each other’s dreams. Yet authors do omit, repeat, and contradict themselves, and the choices available to the reader are just as broad. We can hold two facts in our heads at once. We can disappear the characters when they leave the page. We can, with Breton, not go into Dostoevsky’s room.

I’ll give a few more examples. One of my favorite theories about Kubrick’s The Shining is that the whole thing is a metaphor for the Native American genocide. The theory has only a little to go on -- a few set-design choices, a passing mention of a Native American burial ground under the hotel, and a biiiiiig reach on the word “Overlook” -- but more to the point, to either argue the theory as the movie’s coded truth or to try to disprove it is to wall oneself off from the contradictory data the movie actually makes available. The horror in the hotel, that haunts Jack Torrance and pushes the movie to its conclusion, is the horror of Native death and dispossession. It’s also the horror of a man who took an axe to his twins. It’s also the horror of a guy who got blown by a furry or whatever. Some of it is the ugliness and neurosis inside Jack, who’s always been the caretaker, himself. Now given that the film never makes a choice between these things, why should we? Aren’t they all operative in helping us understand the story?

American Psycho, the book and the movie, end Patrick Bateman’s descent into sadism with an anticlimax, a refusal of the rest of his world to react. If we think that Bateman, an unreliable narrator if there ever was one, did the things he claimed to, this reads as a final indictment of Wall Street’s banal evil: you can kill and kill again, and class renders you impervious to justice and even to being noticed. If we think that Bateman made the whole thing up, then, as one of the book characters says against his insistence on his own evil, he’s too much of a coward to have done anything like that. His sadism is all mental, and maybe not even all that unique. Wealth breeds monsters who nevertheless conform. Now we could argue back and forth about whether the man is a killer or a fake, but what would be the point? The story shows him killing just as vividly as it denies it, and therefore both things are true. Which lets us read either description into Bateman, and a third, their paradoxical conjunction: Bateman a man who contains an inconsistency, of a sort endemic to the story’s duplicitous and blank yuppiedom.

David Lynch’s Mulholland Dr. is my favorite example of this, partly because it generates these fan-theory rationalizations like nothing else. Without getting too much into the plot, the movie falls into two halves in which Naomi Watts and Laura Elena Harring play two different pairs of characters. The loose consensus is that the first half is the dream of Watts’s character in the second half. But no such ontological priority is stated or even implied in the film: rather, what links the two halves is an oneiric complex of recurring figures, desires and colors. As Timothy Takemoto puts it: “What is special, and wonderful, about Mullholland Dr. is, I believe, the fact not only the first part of the film is clearly a dream, the second part is another dream. There is (almost) no reality to which the film returns. The film is made up of two interwoven dreams, each of which present a different interpretation of the only event that we know is for real: someone has died and it is probably a suicide.”

The logic of the real world, a logic that affirms the Principle of Non-Contradiction, I’ve been calling “classical” or “consistent”. Logics that deny the PNC, admitting certain contradictions, called paraconsistent. Graham Priest, one of analytic philosophy’s more full-throated defenders of paraconsistency in general, defends paraconsistency in fiction here, even writing a short self-contradictory story to argue his claims. As I hope I’ve shown, there’s no need to be a philosopher about it; paraconsistency is here already. This is how stories are, but it’s also a tool that’ll help you read good.

Part of the deeper point is that, on some level, there’s nothing more or less than what’s on the screen or in the text. A setting isn’t a world, though it’ll often try to remind you of one. A character isn’t a person, though like a person, it can be named, act, and form relationships. As Barthes shows in S/Z, characters might not even be atomic narrative units, but rather constellations of individual signifiers or “semes”. Look how un-personal this point of view can make a character seem:

When identical semes traverse the same proper name several times and appear to settle upon it, a character is created. Thus, the character is a product of combinations: the combination is relatively stable (denoted by the recurrence of the semes) and more or less complex (involving more or less congruent, more or less contradictory figures); this complexity determines the character’s “personality,” which is just as much a combination as the odor of a dish or the bouquet of a wine.

What about the limiting case, the detective story or similar, where despite throwing out false leads the story does zero in on a final truth? To begin with the obvious: the principle of paraconsistency just isn’t going to work equally well on all stories; and just as one can betray a text by ignoring its multiple truths, to ignore its denials is an even more flagrant betrayal. Even so, even when the text lies to you and ends up admitting it, the lies are more than just bare lies. This is part of the reason I mention S/Z. The Balzac story Barthes analyzes feints, puns, and minces words to delude its protagonist and its reader about the character Sarrasine’s gender, and if nothing else, these false leads play a vital function of dragging out the story. But they signify in other ways as they do this, and end up contributing positively to the story’s meditations/anxieties about gender. (At issue is not just what’s said in those moments but how it’s said: Barthes identifies the protagonist’s urge to possess and replicate Sarrasine’s femininity, which he can only do by reference to other femininities, beautiful women of art and literature, characteristically feminine qualities, etc., thus adding further links to a chain of signifiers that can end at nothing real, and does so to great irony.) In this case, it’d be wrong to call the plot paraconsistent, but its apparent contradictions contribute to narrative levels outside the plot.

The horror movie “the Babadook” like a psychoanalysis session to the mother

The best scary movie in the yr was just as we assumed

On the online world there WAS an unbiased horror movie “Babaduk”, which, contrary with the quite terrifying title, had a calendar year to scare a wide range of: Australian Director Jennifer Kent has collected positive suggestions on the” Sundance”, after which the movie managed to vacation round The united states and also the United kingdom. more information Superior horror Director-women about maternal concern, multiplied via the supernatural-a assertion that may be justified. For the exact same time, it appears, to place it on par along with the ideal horrors of before. Perceive why.

With the conditional Australian suburb endlessly exhausted and sad worker on the nursing property Amelia is trying to lift a young son by yourself. Six a long time in the past, his birthday was for your heroine of your eternal rhyme into the demise of her spouse, from which she however can not transfer absent. Moreover the son himself will not give Amelia breathe: hysterics in your own home and at college, restless slumber, and i am positive that the home is hiding a monster, to battle with whom he secretly will make do-it-yourself weapons. Shortly on his bookshelf quickly appears a wonderful e book with pictures with regard to the awful Mr. Babaduk, and even if her little one effortlessly frightened, it’s resolved, it seems, initial of all my mom. In the a lot of horror online games of this year, the impartial and also the Australian “the Babadook” was all of the sudden the foremost anticipated and pre-loved – the money creators have efficiently collected on Kickstarter, the movie was accepted notably complacently the “Sundance”. On the identical time, Director Jennifer Kent went to generate it pretty a lengthy way: because the early 90’s she labored in supporting roles in Australian Television set series, until she made the decision to tie it endlessly and stand over the other facet with the camera. As a end result, the previous actress wrote a letter to Lars von Trier and being an assistant went to realize encounter relating to the shooting of “Dogville”. This was adopted by a short movie “Monster”, from which just about ten yrs later on and grew”Babaduk”. Inspite of the internship for the beloved Dane, Kent made a decision not to phase relating to the route from the pageant Arthouse, but will also on the style of horror arrived from the couple unconventional positions for your current technology.

The writer is not going to make an attempt to disguise the very fact that she hides around the closet is not much a terrible monster given that the horror of motherhood

Even seemingly “the Babadook” a touch similar to a modern horror movie. All results to get a little bit deliberate and fantastic effective houses, performing a little bit more catchy than now acknowledged. Kent suggests herself that targeted much more to the classics of the style until such time as samples in the to begin with 50 % within the twentieth century. Meanwhile, the most crucial distinction between “the Babadook” from the up-to-date horror in how consistently the Director takes advantage of the foundations from the style of discussion with a wholly various issue. It’s always no top-secret that horror movies have typically been statements regarding the pretty authentic fears, until eventually they rolled for the limitless processing in their have cliches. Kent can be an remarkably artikulieren taken this custom to revive. With the starting, “the Babadook” the author is not really trying to hide the actual fact that she’s hiding inside the closet not a lot a scary monster, as the horror of motherhood – a subject not so new towards the genre. “Baby rosemary” Polanski will never lose meaning, regardless if for any second to neglect about Satan. It truly is clear that the forest with chatting foxes in the” Antichrist “(a sort of rethinking which” Babaduk ” amusing way was), instead, a projection with the interior society in the heroine. The dilemma is how the writer mixes the otherworldly using the metaphor – which could be the only, though, it appears, and mindful miscalculation Kent. “Babaduk” performs marvelous being a story a couple of woman who’s torn by longing for her partner and conflicting thoughts for that boy or girl. Kent skillfully plays around the audience’s emotions: over the a single hand, each heroes cannot sympathize, for the other – we see that the mother is more and more flies off the rails, but we fully understand what the son could convey her. Horror monster, the writer also skillfully normally requires – oppressive, much more horrible than quickly slamming the door. The condition is just not that both of these parts interfere with each other, quite the opposite – a single is too depending on one other. On the most advantageous horror motion pictures should be taken out otherworldly-and they will still function, nevertheless the reverse is valid. The gorgeous horror belonging to the 80’s “Creature” managed to become a particularly subtle assertion about domestic violence and in the exact time a film a couple of poltergeist terrorizing an individual mother. “Radiance” is often a story not simply about a outrageous father, but in addition about a haunted household. Cronenberg as soon as gained even simplier and easier as well as in your “Brood” basically erased that line: his character for dread of shedding his daughter extremely created lots of baby killers. “Babaduk”, despite all its pros, seems to become a fairy tale invented by a psychoanalyst. Not that he won’t reach scare, just immediately following every disturbing creak movie isn’t going to get worn out to remind you the basement – a subconscious, as well as monster – suppressed wishes. That is definitely, right up until the tip continues to be a impressive and colorful illustration belonging to the Chapter of the textbook of psychoanalysis to the modest types.
