That trend continues in 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In films like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=q4Z5v2M7Ae4\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Substance<\/span><\/i> <\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bKGxHflevuk\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sinners<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the core of their characters\u2019 struggle to find ways to thrive and with influences from more diverse voices behind the scenes, they bring with them another layer to the typical man vs. society story.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using the lived experiences of those whose safety and security often depends on their ability to mask and appease to those in the social majority, this can create a hypervigilance that can grow into full-blown paranoia in a horror setting when a character needs to feel like the odd one out, but any acknowledgment of it can result in danger.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those ideas are not unfamiliar to projects under MonkeyPaw Productions, with popular films like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get Out<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Us <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">creating an often-imitated style that taps into the anxiety of trying or the threat of failing to fit into a racial or class system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That often comes off as shallow when the implications are not taken into consideration in the story, making it feel like a poor attempt at being deep.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MonkeyPaw\u2019s 2025 release <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HIM<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the story of Cameron Cade, a young, injured football player finding out how much he\u2019s willing to sacrifice for success while training under his idol Isaiah White and occultist hijinks ensue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The film brings up the issues of toxic masculinity and race relations associated with football by having characters directly state facts or statistics to the viewer. It doesn\u2019t really focus on how these problems affect Cade\u2019s decisions and instead opts for typical horror movie tropes like jump scares. This made <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HIM <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a pretty forgettable viewing experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Toni Morrison\u2019s 1987 gothic horror story <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/6149.Beloved\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beloved<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tackles the same topic of feeling dehumanized in a world you aren\u2019t supposed to belong in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a story that takes place post-slavery, about a woman, Sethe, and her youngest daughter who are being haunted by the ghost of her first-born daughter. The details of the death are danced around until you get sucked in deeper.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The story\u2019s main male character, Paul D., has memories of constant escape from slavery and recapture that haunt him. Even though the threat of slavery no longer exists, his trauma creates a paranoia that colors every decision he makes, as he tries and fails to rebuild his life with Sethe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His autonomy has been stripped from him for so long that he can no longer function like a normal human being. Those same fears and memories become a figurative ghost that keeps him moving, just as Sethe\u2019s actual ghost keeps her from leaving her home or letting anyone in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So why does a story from the \u201980s resonate more than one from this year, even though they\u2019re covering the same topics?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maybe it\u2019s because in these types of stories, the external threats aren\u2019t just trying to rip you to pieces\u2014they want to control your actions with paralyzing anxiety that makes you hurt yourself, before they strip you of everything that makes you unique to make you fit in.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The horror genre has always been a place
