B-movie

The video layers on camp with a '70s B-movie aesthetic while she describes men in her life using words like "useless," "stupid" and "slow."

Not necessarily because of where the story takes place but because it is a lesbian B-movie starring Margaret Qualley as a private eye and Aubrey Plaza as a “mystery woman.”

And then there’s the gonzo anti-Cinderella story “The Substance,” which rose from B-movie to a worthy rival, with enough push behind it to make the best actress race a nail-biter up until the very last second.

No longer are these movies relegated to underground, B-movie status, making the gore-forward subgenre more likely to be co-opted by those who want to get in on the action, yet don’t fully understand its appeal.

Shakespeare’s play assumes the shrieks and shrill cries of a B-movie.
