We don't talk enough about how scary and gross pregnancy is, one expert on the genre tells Jezebel. Horror films are finally tackling this.
have become such a central theme in scary movies lately. What do you think of how they’re applied to pregnancy inYou have this really rich tapestry of the crush of societal expectation and all of the turmoil going on within yourself, and then people are gaslighting you simultaneously. I mean, a lot of pregnancies involve being gaslit—people will tell you that everything is going to be fine, whether it will or not, strangers will touch your stomach and tell you that’s normal.
Every pregnant person is in an incredibly physically vulnerable situation, where they are regularly dependent on people they don’t know, people they haven’t consented to trust, strangers, bosses, employers, their husbands, everybody. So when you see that in the film, it touches on some essential truth. Even though, sure, pregnant people are not usually required to stay silent so that monsters won’t kill them.
I don’t really feel like there’s a lot of preachy pregnancy movies out there, but maybe we’ll see more of that with the fall of. I feel like these movies tend to open conversations and leave people with a lot to say. I can’t think of a boring pregnancy horror movie. There are so many that aren’t necessarily about pregnancy, but feature pregnancy, allude to omens about demons, planting demonic seeds, giving birth to literal evil—there’s a lot of ways to interpret it all.
And there’s usually the sense that the pregnant woman is being watched, like she’s not alone in the house, or there’ll be a scene showing that it’s difficult for her to do something easy. She’s loading the laundry with difficulty, and it’s like, oh, it’s gonna be hard to run. So, they do these little establishing shots, like the scene of Emily Blunt [in]. If you see a nail on the stair, and you see the pregnant woman, you know what’s gonna happen.
