Why we need to be watching more female-directed horror movies @ Sleek Mag

In case you didn’t know, February is Women in Horror Month and like other celebratory months it suggests an imbalance in representation. Sure, there are some iconic horror movies directed by women such as: American Psycho by Mary Harron, Carrie by Kimberly Peirce and Jennifer’s Body by Karyn Kusama, but when you consider that half of film school students are women, the number seems low. The Final Girls Berlin Film Festival—now in its fifth year—is one of many film festivals around the world this month that are putting a spotlight on horror movies made by women and non-binary filmmakers.
