The horrors of horniness: the freaky girls of 'Babyratu'
Briefly

Actress Hari Nef's review posed the question: 'Are girls born freaky, or do they have freakiness thrust upon them?' This reflects the underlying themes of both films.
In Halina Reijn's erotic thriller Babygirl, Kidman's character Romy Mathis grapples with her suppressed sexuality amid an affair with intern Samuel, finding empowerment through sexual liberation.
Robert Eggers's Nosferatu presents a psychosexual perspective, intertwining horror with erotic tension, exploring the life and desires of Ellen Hutter and the vampyr who haunts her.
The double feature of Nosferatu and Babygirl cleverly juxtaposes two interpretations of women's sexuality, examining societal constraints across different historical contexts, specifically through the lens of horror and eroticism.
