A queer psychosexual horror-comedy about a young director who visits the reclusive star of a faded slasher franchise, only to tumble into something stranger and bloodier than a simple revival. Directed by Jane Schoenbrun, whose previous work centers trans and queer experience, the film places LGBTQ identity at the heart of its genre exercise. The Progressive label follows from that positioning: desire, queerness, and self-discovery drive the story rather than decorate it. One complicating wrinkle sits underneath, though. A trans-coded masked killer echoes a horror trope critics have long flagged as harmful. That tension between affirmation and convention keeps the film interesting to argue about, which is probably the point.
