[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 434345, member: 5079"] I didn't refer to hagsploitation. I don't care for the term very much. For one, it's kind of gross. But it's also not even very accurate unless one thinks every woman over 50 is a hag. The term maybe applies to BABY JANE and FANATIC where the ladies were made to look like haggard crones, but it hardly suits the rest. Embalmed youth seems just as appropriate for Grande Dame Guignol as decay. If it wasn't such a broad comedy, DEATH BECOMES HER had the basics for the genre. And I very much consider HUSH to be a late entry in the genre, if a bit of a tepid one. Along with MISERY, it's about the closest to the genre, Grande Dame Guignol or hagsploitation, that we've gotten in decades. [/QUOTE]
