Taking a theoretical, historical and critical approach to horror
directed by women, Bloody Women considers how the gender landscape
of horror filmmaking is changing. It unearths the long and rich
history of female-fronted horror films that predate the
better-known The Babadook. It explores whether the genre provides a
perennial springboard for rising stars behind the camera and if the
malleability of horror makes it a genre of choice for visionary
film-makers eager to stretch their wings. Is there a way in which
female-helmed horror films are distinct from male-led projects or
do the unique experiences of womanhood of different directors lead
them to create unique work? Are there defining qualities and
characteristics that can be attributed to the horror of women
directors and how are such unique voices shaping horror and
influencing the industry? Women directors of horror are becoming
increasingly more difficult to ignore. As Canadian horror filmmaker
Jen Soska cautions, "A revolution has started."
