GuyNextDoor Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Quote The original film came out in 1987 at a time where LGBTQ+ elements had to remain subtextual, but thankfully not so in 2022. This reimagining is unabashedly queer, which was particularly meaningful for Faison, who himself is LGBTQ+ identified. Before reading the script, he was repeatedly promised that the queer characters were indeed central to the plot and fully realized people. Still, he was worried. “You’re like, am I gonna be treated as another token gay character, that’s like a joke? And then they get killed off in some funny way. We’ve seen that so many times and it’s just kind of exhausting,” Faison shares. However, he was relieved to find he could trust the director to create a film not only true to the horror elements of Barker’s story, but the queer ones as well. “ Ultimately, it feels in keeping with the kind of film that Barker himself might have made should the era he was directing in have been as open to queer themes and characters. He was heavily involved with this version (unlike many of its other sequels) and it shows. It’s transgressive, queer, and perverse, but also speaks to a more modern sensibility that asks what if your final girl was actually a final gay?

Truly the Madonna of horror. That's what I call purposeful horror 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
