The demon-baby horror subgenre gets a wild queer twist! Well into her pregnancy, Sara (Chloe Van Landschoot) is haunted by strange visions and unusual cravings. She’s in a blissful relationship with her girlfriend, bartender Carol, when the baby’s father, Troy, makes a surprise re-appearance. Despite Carol’s warnings, Sara agrees to dinner at Troy’s remote family estate so she can meet his mother, Agnes. But their quiet dinner descends into a supernatural nightmare, leading to a bloody confrontation. A wickedly entertaining Canadian horror film, SON OF SARA subverts the classic ROSEMARY’S BABY trope into a twisted, gore-soaked comedy with a modern queer perspective. The sophomore feature from queer filmmaker Houston Bone (and his first installment in a planned series!), it’s been praised by Film Threat as “equal parts Satanic horror, camp melodrama, body horror, and pitch-black comedy.” For queer horror aficionados, it’s a must-see on the big screen.
