Spooky season is still going strong and so are we! We're back with another chilling tale, The Stepford Wives from 1975. The film follows Katharine Ross as Joanna, a woman who recently relocated to the suburb of Stepford from New York City. It's not long before Joanna notices that things aren't quite as idyllic as they seem in Stepford, and that danger may be lurking. The film is filled with commentary on feminism, patriarchy, anti-consumerism, and the clash between suburbs versus city that feels perhaps even more relevant today than nearly 50 years ago.
