Horror is an integral part of Austin’s cultural fabric, showcased prominently at events like Fantastic Fest and SXSW. This year's SXSW featured adult-oriented horror films with intricate themes, moving away from simplistic narratives. Among them, 'Redux Redux' by Kevin and Matthew McManus emerged as a highlight, effectively combining genres while exploring profound themes of grief and vengeance. Its protagonist, Irene Kelly, traverses multiverses seeking justice for her daughter's murder, navigating the emotional weight of her actions. This film illustrates the evolving landscape of horror, where deeper engagement with themes is becoming paramount.
Horror films at SXSW have evolved, striving for depth while still offering scares, reflecting a desire for 'elevated' storytelling within the genre.
