With this book we can transform how we think about Women filmmakers and genre.
They have always been an audience for the genre, and today, as this book reveals, Women academics, critics, and filmmakers alike remain committed to a film Genre that offers almost unlimited opportunities for exploring and deconstructing social and cultural constructions of gender, femininity, sexuality, and the body.
Women Make Horror explores narrative and experimental cinema; short, anthology, and feature filmmaking; and offers case studies of North American, Latin American, European, East Asian, and Australian filmmakers, films, and festivals.
Women have always made horror.
Women Make Horror sets right these misconceptions.
These assumptions are based on decades of flawed scholarly, critical, and industrial thinking about the genre.
This is what you get when you are a woman working in horror, whether as a writer, academic, festival programmer, or filmmaker.
Women are just not that interested in making horror films.
