10 Horror Movies With Terrifying Social Commentary
show list info
"Since the 1970s, horror and science fiction have been populated with a type of film called a social thriller. These genre movies tell stories about societal oppression as well as discuss injustices in everyday life. The topics discussed in these films vary, but they include class, environmentalism, gender, politics, race, religion, and sex. The social thriller has been an important part of cinema for decades, but in recent years, they have received more attention from the media. This is due in part to horror's own resurgence in the mainstream. So, let's look at ten horror movies that have terrifying social commentary."
