The Stepford Wives, Crazy Stepford Sequels and a Nicole Kidman Remake

#movieremake #remakes #1970s #horror #stepford This video combines my two separate videos, Welcome to Stepford Part 1 and Welcome to Stepford Part 2, into one long deep dive video. There is a deadly secret in the small town of Stepford. Based on the book by Ira Levin, "The Stepford Wives" film adaptation brings to life the dark side of the suburban dream. Directed by Bryan Forbes, The Steoford Wives is a twisted tale of an idyllic small town that on the surface appears to be the perfect escape from all the ills that plagued America's post industrial urban centers. But, in reality, that suburban dream turns into nightmare for the women who live there. Starring Katherine Ross, Peter Masterson and Paula Prentiss the town of Stepford is truly a small town with big and deadly secrets and it's the Stepford Wives who all pay the price. The original 1975 Stepford Wives movie spawned three television movie sequels, (The Revenge of the Stepford Wives, The Stepford Children and The Stepford Husbands), a 2004 remake and inspired the underrated 1998 teen horror flick Disturbing Behavior. The Stepford Wives sequels continue the examination of gender, identity and control. The influence of the Stepford wives continues to this day in films like "Get Out "and television shows like "Humans" and it remains a theater of war in the battle of the sexes.
