Salem witch hysteria gets a Maga makeover in Sam Levinson’s satirical thriller about digital privacy and the patriarchy
Every American presidency gets the extreme horror film that it deserves, and the Maga-era Us has now got Assassination Nation, which could as well be called Confrontation Nation or Indignation Nation – a new spin on the Salem witch hysteria, a full-on splattery meltdown far from Arthur Miller, written and directed by actor-turned-filmmaker Sam Levinson.
A mysterious hacker gets access to the internet search histories, digital photos and text conversations of everyone in the respectable American town of Salem – and proceeds to dump them online, thus revealing how, in 2018, people’s private lives and imaginations have become extensively pornified by the internet.
