That Don’t Worry Darling, I heard folks talking ’bout it. They say it’s some kinda movie. Some say it’s scary, some say it ain’t. I don’t know nothin’ ’bout it, really. But I heard enough to make my old ears perk up. Sounds like a whole lotta baloney to me, but let’s see what all the fuss is about, shall we?
They say there’s this lady, Alice, livin’ in a perfect little town. Everything’s all sunshine and roses, you know? Husbands go off to work on some secret stuff, wives stay home, clean, cook, and look pretty. Sounds like a dream, right? Well, not for Alice. This gal starts seein’ things, hearin’ things. Things that ain’t quite right. She’s thinkin’ somethin’ fishy is goin’ on. Is Don’t Worry Darling a horror movie? I don’t know, but it sure sounds fishy!
She starts askin’ questions, pokin’ around. Nobody likes that, no sir. They tell her to hush up, stop worryin’ her pretty little head. But Alice, she ain’t one to be quiet. She’s got a fire in her belly, that one. Reminds me of my daughter when she was young. She will go crazy when she knows there is something wrong with the food I cook. But I always tell her to stop askin’ and just eat it.
Now, this is where it gets a little fuzzy for me. Folks talkin’ ’bout simulations and mind control and all that fancy stuff. I don’t understand half of it. But it sounds like someone’s tryin’ to keep these folks trapped in their perfect little world. Like they’re puppets on a string. And Alice, she’s tryin’ to cut those strings. She’s the only one that knows somethin’s wrong. Is Don’t Worry Darling scary? Maybe, maybe not. But it sounds like a real mess, that’s for sure.
- This Alice, she sees things.
- She hears things.
- She knows somethin’ ain’t right.
- Nobody believes her.
- They tell her she’s crazy.
And then there is somethin’ ’bout a lady named Margaret. She done lost her boy out in the desert. Or so they say. Sounds like she went a little cuckoo after that. Maybe she saw something she shouldn’t have. Who knows? They say if the man got fired, the woman would just kill herself. It is just crazy! This place sounds more and more like a loony bin to me! Is Don’t Worry Darling a horror movie? Well, if it ain’t, it sure sounds like one!
Then this whole thing gets even weirder. They say the men, they’re in on it. They’re the ones pullin’ the strings, makin’ sure everyone stays in line. They want their wives to be all smiles and no sass. They say it is all equal, but it sounds like a load of horse manure to me. They act all nice, but underneath, they’re hidin’ somethin’ dark and nasty. Like a snake in the grass, waitin’ to strike. Makes my skin crawl just thinkin’ ’bout it.
They say it is all in her head. Just like they told me about the noises at night. Said it was just the wind. But I know what I heard. It was a real live person outside! I know it! So, maybe this Alice ain’t so crazy after all. Maybe she’s the only one who sees the truth. Don’t Worry Darling sounds more and more like a bad dream every minute.
So, is this Don’t Worry Darling a horror movie? I reckon it depends on what you’re scared of. If you’re scared of losin’ your mind, of bein’ trapped, of not knowin’ what’s real and what ain’t, then yeah, it might be. It ain’t got no ghosts or goblins, but it’s got somethin’ worse. It’s got people messin’ with your head, tryin’ to control you. And that’s a scary thought, ain’t it?
Me, I like my horror movies with a little more blood and guts. But this one, it’s got a different kind of scare. It makes you think. And if you think about it for too long, you know what? It will drive you crazy. Like the time I tried to figure out how them newfangled phones work. Gave me a headache for a week! But I guess some folks like that kind of thing. Keeps ’em on their toes, I suppose.
Anyways, that’s all I know ’bout this Don’t Worry Darling. Sounds like a whole lot of nothin’ to me. But what do I know? I’m just an old lady. I like my stories simple, my tea sweet, and my life quiet. But if you like a movie that makes you think, and maybe makes you a little scared, then maybe this one’s for you. It will keep you at the edge of your seat. Just don’t come cryin’ to me when you can’t sleep at night!
