Karen had enough of the manager searching, so she stars in a horror film now!
Karen,The movie just released its first trailer. Taryn Manning of OITNB fame plays the titular role.
The name Karen was popular a long time ago because it has great meanings in different cultures. In The middle east it is Royal family that was prominent during pre-Islamic times. In Scandinavia, it was a popular name for girls because it means pure. Karen people are indigenous group that resides in Myanmar and Thailand. These people have a wonderful and rich culture.
China and Japan also have it as a common girl’s name that means Lily. There are also so many legendary and popular women who are born with this name.
This is how people see the name Karen at the present:
Well a meme that uses a picture of Kate Gosselin changed everything. There are so many memes that tarnished this name beyond repair. It is slang for white women or even men who are entitled, racist and disrespectful. Recently it became a universally accepted replacement term for the word bitch. No one knows the origin of this meme. Some say Its a sketch of a comedian from 2005 while others say it’s Amanda Siegfried’s character in mean girls.
Malik (Cory Hardrict) and his wife Imani (Jasmine Burke) just moved into a beautiful suburban community. They are welcomed by their neighbor Karen who seemed to be friendly. Little did they know, Her intentions are malicious. She is a malicious racist person who hates them for being Black.
Taryn Manning is so imposing on the trailer that her mere presence is disturbing. There are some scenes in the film that looks comedic but disturbingly happens in real life. It is directed and written by Coke Daniels who is more known for making comedies.
I am really curious and want to know more about this film because Taryn’s performance is impressive. After this movie, I don’t think parents will name their babies Karen ever again.
