In spite of everything, along with the “popcorn actress” label there’s a main drawback in Hollywood with the sorts of roles which might be provided to ladies of a sure age. Nevertheless it turned out to be not simply nice for her however the physique horror subgenre as effectively. Who would have thought that such a movie would have featured so prominently all through awards season? And whereas we received’t be seeing a sequel to Coralie Fargeat’s movie, right here’s hoping horror will get extra recognition on the Oscars (waddup, Nosferatu!) and that actresses in the identical demographic as Demi Moore proceed to get roles that enable them to department out and check viewers expectations.
