Take, for stance, Jennifer Kent’s The Babadook, which the tular boogeyman n be read as an allegory for a mother’s grief and trma, or A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge, which not so subtly hts at the protagonist beg gay.

The Lighthoe is overflowg wh gay subtext, om the tenr dancg scene shared between Tom and Tommy, to the il arguments between them that play out like a dnk hband and upset hoewife (“Yer fond of me lobster, a’t ye? Ignorg the gay subtext this film lims the pure brilliance of The Lighthoe.
