Imagine a world where totalitarian forces rule the United States, women are subjugated to the point of being deemed property, protestors rally in response and the authorities try to keep everyone in line. Okay, imagine a fictionalised version of the above dystopian society — or let The Handmaid's Tale help you. Margaret Atwood's book has been doing just that since 1985, with a new Elisabeth Moss-starring Hulu series due to help come April. Now, large groups of red-clad ladies are also playing their part, freaking people out at Austin's South by Southwest in the process. They walk in pairs, don't say anything, and generally unnerve everyone around them. Yes, it's clearly a clever SXSW promo for the show, but it's an effectively creepy one. https://twitter.com/erica_grossman/status/840294583170936832 https://twitter.com/HandmaidsOnHulu/status/840288331250319360 https://twitter.com/HandmaidsOnHulu/status/840649469624377345 https://twitter.com/MargaretAtwood/status/840630956801327105 If you're up for even more anxiety-inducing tension, check out the trailer for the series below.
