fc128 - mothers and daughters in horror movies

Published: April 15, 2018, midnight

b'The relationship between mothers and daughters informs an awful lot of great horror films from The Exorcist to Black Swan. Frightmare suggests that becoming your mother is inescapable. The Woman tells us that if we can\\u2019t raise our daughters right, a more alpha mom might show up and do it for us. The Ring and Mom and Dad remind us that moms aren\\u2019t perfect. They have bad days. Sometimes they may want to drop you down a well.\\n\\nWe focus on five horror films where that relationship between mother and daughter informs and impacts the storyline in a substantial way.'
