Over the decades, one incredibly influential (if obscure) '70s sci-fi novel has influenced satires from from Don't Worry Darling to Get Out.
Over the decades, numerous successful sci-fi satire movies have adapted one iconic ‘70s novel’s prescient premise. The sci-fi genre encompasses a wide range of movies. From small-scale character dramas to massive blockbusters, sci-fi stories come in all shapes and sizes. Sci-fi movies can also feature a variety of tones.
Why The Stepford Wives Inspired So Many Sci-fi Movies Since sci-fi and satire can both be used to comment on existing social ills, it is no surprise that some themes recur throughout the sci-fi satire sub-genre. That said, the similarity between Don’t Worry Darling and The Stepford Wives is striking enough to warrant comment, especially when the famous ‘70s sci-fi satire also influenced earlier sci-fi satires such as Disturbing Behaviour, The World’s End, and Get Out.
Every Stepford Wives Retelling Transforms The Premise In Disturbing Behavior, high school kids lose control of their brains to tamp down juvenile delinquency. In Jordan Peele’s ingenious Get Out, rich white people transplant themselves into the bodies of black people to live forever. In Don’t Worry Darling, the women of a small community retain control of their faculties but this time, it is the world they live in—their reality itself—that is replaced by a simulation.
