A lot of people really seem to like The Love Witch from a few years ago too, but I haven’t seen it. Oh, and there’s A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, which maybe-sorta counts.

What a brilliant fucking film. So, I'm not well versed in horror as a genre, which I admit. I'm sure Mother! isn't the first (or probably even the best) openly feminist horror film but it's the first I've seen. And it's glorious.
If anyone has other recommendations for feminist horror films, I'm all ears. Please recommend.

Why do you think mother! isn't horror?

I just don’t see any horror in its tone or tropes or aesthetic or feel or anything. I just see it as a surrealist art drama with a couple disturbing moments.

Interesting...
I'm gonna need to think and research about it more. If it's not a horror film, which I can totally accept, I still think it's feminist and profound. But my ignorance of the genre keeps me from fighting you in this.
I defer to your expertise, frankly.

It’s interesting how disparate all the subtextual readings of that movie are. No one seems to agree. Aronofsky himself says it’s about climate change, which...what?!

Yeah, there is no way Mother! is a horror film. Nor a feminist one too.
The Lords Of Salem is a great recommendation...i just downloaded today to see it again soon. Im actually going to see most of Zombie´s films again preparing for Three From Hell.

Season of the Witch
I Spit on Your Grave
The Slumber Party Massacre
XX
The Lords of Salem
These are all very good recommendations. I would add some slasher ones like Scream, Scream 2, Jennifer´s Body is also so fucking good, The Descent, Black Rock, Ginger Snaps, Halloween H20, Cam, The Loved Ones, Inside, Teeth.

Of course. I respect how uncompromisingly brutal it is, if nothing else.

Anyone watch this? It is on Amazon, looks like it could be good. I'm downloading it for my long flight to San Francisco next week.
