“horror movie” by steven meisel for vogue italia
Probably a question with a long answer! But what are a few of your favorite woman-centric horror movies (i.e. primarily featuring women, revolving around gender politics, made for the female gaze, etc etc)?
i think it will be easier to answer this question with many of my letterboxd lists (but my Favorites are- American Mary, Helter Skelter, Ginger Snaps, and Excision)
innocence ripped out like baby teeth- teen girls possessed, monstrously transformed, and otherwise robbed of their life from a force beyond their control (the companion list to my "there's something dangerous about the boredom of teenage girls" list)
there’s something dangerous about the boredom of teenage girls- girls who create violence or destruction out of their own boredom. (the companion list to my "innocence ripped out like baby teeth" list)
the horror of motherhood- the horrors of being a mother and trying to protect your children from overwhelming evil. the mother who turns on her child or the children who turn on the mother.
horrific sisterhood- when sisters turn on each other or a toxic relationship between sisters. either biological sisters or sisterhood as a concept.
