‘Goody Goody’ Serves Up a Wicked Slice of Pregnancy Horror
There’s an entire horror subgenre devoted to the worst things you can imagine about pregnancy and new motherhood. It also taps into survival horror, centering its home birth gone awry in a cabin deep in what sure feels like a haunted forest. Goody Goody takes place almost entirely in a single setting and has just four cast members, bringing additional intimacy to a story that feels both anchored in the real world and pulled from the pages of a very dark fairy tale.
