01
Female Trouble
Why this pick
Another razor-sharp John Waters assault on suburban respectability, driven by a gleefully monstrous female lead, outrageous bad taste, and deadpan escalation.

Polyester
Why this pick
Its candy-colored domestic misery, absurd melodrama, and affectionate cruelty toward suburban norms make it a natural companion to Serial Mom’s poisonous cheerfulness.
03
Eating Raoul
Why this pick
This dry, kinky black comedy turns bourgeois frustration into escalating homicide with a similarly arch tone and delight in punishing obnoxious people.
04
Parents
Why this pick
A pristine 1950s-family façade conceals grotesque appetites in this uneasy, stylized suburban satire—less broad than Serial Mom but equally suspicious of normality.
05
The Loved One
Why this pick
A pitch-black, deliberately tasteless satire of American ritual and consumerism, with the same willingness to make death funny through polished, exaggerated grotesquerie.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Beverly Sutphin appears to be a typical suburban housewife living with her dentist husband, Eugene, and their teenage children, Misty and Chip, in the suburbs of Baltimore. However, she is secretly a serial killer, murdering people over the most trivial of perceived slights, including mere faux pas.
