Is Olivia Wilde’s ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ a Horror Movie?

Directed by Olivia Wilde (Booksmart), Don’t Worry Darling follows the idyllic, picture-perfect, heteronormative lives of the residents of an experimental 1950s town called Victory. While the wives cook, clean, garden, and cater to their husbands’ needs — decked out in tea-length swing dresses and curled hair, of course — the husbands go work for the highly confidential Victory Project. Specifically, the men dedicate their time to the “development of progressive materials,” whatever that means.
