phantasmas 9,071 Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 (edited) Within the horror genre, women are consistently disrupting traditional patriarchal notions of femininity. They are messy, gluttonous, disgusting and deceitful - everything women are told not to be. Take Ari Aster’s Hereditary (2018), for example, a horror film that is a favourite of Barrera’s, who thought it was “brilliant because it’s genuinely mortifying on every level”. Toni Collette plays Annie Graham, a mother grieving the death of her daughter, who was accidentally killed by her brother. Collette’s portrayal of Annie’s grief is ugly and painful. Any beliefs around ideal femininity are completely dismissed in her representation of Annie, showcasing the full complexity of grief and loss. These are the types of roles that Barrera admits to being drawn to the most.
