"The reasons that women are rolling around in the supernatural muck, both as creators and consumers, are as numerous as those zombies chasing Pitt down a lab corridor. One, says Dave Alexander, the editor-in-chief of Toronto-based Rue Morgue, the world’s foremost horror magazine, is that cheaper filmmaking technology and changing modes of distribution opened doors for a lot of new filmmakers – “many of them women,” he says, “who bring a more female perspective” to the old tropes.
“For example, Jen and Sylvia Soska, twins from Vancouver, made American Mary, an ambitious film with a strong woman protagonist – a med student – that touches on topics, including a rape-revenge fantasy and squeamish female-body horror, that are important to women.”"
