Description
In the penultimate episode of the series, we get into how hagsploitation turned to body horror, and ruined its characters in the process. We cover The Taking of Deborah Logan (2014), The Visit (2015), The Grandmother (2021), The Elderly (2022), Old People (2022), X (2022) and Barbarian (2022). With a special contribution from culture writer Billie Walker, who penned a great essay on the new hagsploitation that you can read here.
