Films in this playlist

1. The Witch — Robert Eggers · 2015. Taylor-Joy’s first major film still defines her gothic clarity: innocence, threat, and unknowable interior life.
2. Nosferatu — F. W. Murnau · 1922. An essential reference point for the kind of gothic iconography surrounding Taylor-Joy’s later horror work.
3. The Red Shoes — Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger · 1948. A perfect match for Taylor-Joy’s precision: beauty, discipline, color, and obsession under theatrical light.
4. Rosemary’s Baby — Roman Polanski · 1968. Gothic horror made intimate: fear grows from rooms, glances, politeness, and social control.
5. Last Night in Soho — Edgar Wright · 2021. Taylor-Joy’s screen image becomes both fantasy and warning: a star projection with a wound inside it.
