The home is a cruel place in first full Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story trailer
The latest entry of the Monster anthology premieres on September 17.
The upcoming Netflix series, Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story, has released its full trailer, revealing the tragic nature of the titular character's life. Unlike previous Monster productions such as Dahmer, Menendez, and Gein, Lizzie Borden emerges as the first subject of the show to be acquitted of the crimes depicted in the series.
A character in the trailer explicitly questions whether a woman could be capable of the cruel and depraved acts she is accused of. However, the context provided by the trailer suggests that Lizzie is surrounded by a cruel and depraved world. She resides with parents who mistreat not only their help but also their daughter. The trailer seems to allude to the possibility that Lizzie's violent tendencies may stem from the harsh environment she was raised in.
With a strong cast including Ella Beatty, Vicky Krieps, Rebecca Hall, Charlie Hunnam, Sarah Paulson, Billie Lourd, Joey Pollari, and Jessica Barden, Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story promises to be a refreshing departure from the previous installments in the Monster anthology. The series is set to premiere next month, and viewers will have to wait and see if the show successfully explores the complexities of Lizzie Borden's life and the impact of her upbringing on her actions.
