Black Swan (2010): “Was I Good?”
We want it to be good for you, Spookies — which is why we left our final pick for Homoerotic Thriller Pride in our Patron's hands. To round out the month, we're ending with a bow and Black Swan (2010), a balletic horror that fulfills all your body horror (and body pleasure) fantasies. Starring Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis with supporting performances from Barbara Hershey and Winona Ryder, this flick strives for perfection, and we dare say they just might reach it if you take all of the critical approval into account. Seriously, this Darren Aronofsky film had a decent showing at the Academy Awards, but whether it redeems him in our eyes after Mother!, well, that's up for discussion.
