Stepford Wives (1975)
Based on the Ira Levin film with script by William Goldman, Bryan Forbes science fiction horror film has received its well-deserved cult film status. It has even penned the term, Stepford Wife.
Bryan Forbes would over saturate the film with light and give it an over cheery appearance. All the filming was done on location with no sets built for the film. The film would suffer from numerous rewrites with a horrific ending rewritten at the last minute and not to Goldman’s appreciation.
The film would star Katharine Ross, Paula Prentiss, Peter Masterson, Nanette Newman and Tina Louise. A special note is that this is Mary Stuart Masterson’s first film as the daughter of Eberhart.
Get Out (2017)
Written, directed John Peele, this film gives a nod and update to the Stepford Wives but changes it so it is minority lead social message. After being pitched the film, Peele would write the script in two months.
The film exposes liberal ignorance and hubris are allowed to fester. It's an attitude, an arrogance which in the film leads to a horrific final solution, but in reality, leads to a complacency that is just as dangerous.
The film would star Daniel Kaluuya, Allison Williams, Christine Keeler, Bradley Whitford and Erika Alexander. The film would go on to be nominated for Academy Award, Golden Globe and a Screen’s Actors award.
