Abstract

The article explores the rise of the domestic thriller genre, highlighting its evolution into a significant cultural metaphor reflecting contemporary anxieties, particularly those related to gender and societal safety. It discusses how these narratives often depict seemingly perfect lives unraveling due to crises involving betrayal, violence, or loss, resonating with women's fears of patriarchal control within domestic spaces. The genre has gained prominence through works like HBO's *Big Little Lies* and has diversified in themes, addressing issues of class disparity and community trust. As the trend continues, upcoming adaptations and new releases suggest that the domestic thriller will remain a relevant lens for examining societal tensions and personal fears.
