See a new image from the ‘social horror film’ inspired by Get Out and Rosemary’s Baby.
I loved the idea of making a social horror film, Feste says.

Run Sweetheart Runtakes on normalized misogyny through a genre lens just asGet Outdid with racial oppression.
That night was terrifying and illuminating, she says.
In reality, the world that we live inisdisappointingly misogynistic.
(Similarly,Get Out, you may recall,is a documentary.)
The filmmaker was conscious, too, of creating something thrilling and fun while working with serious material.
How do I shoot this in a way thats palatable?
This is the moment for a film likeRun Sweetheart Runbecause people are listening, Feste says.
People are really accepting of women working in genre and telling different stories.
In some ways, this is like a revenge fantasy, she says.
I almost got to replay that night as a hero.
