I'm so used to horror films tossing in T&A and slut-shaming women, perhaps I've grown inured to it (though I'll usually happily notice when such formula stuff is absent).

Each has improved on this aspect, but there's just such a sense of "DUDE" about the whole thing that still makes give the side eye. Then when I think, "why not just make sure they include a female director," I find myself getting even more angry. I may be wrong on this, but I think that between two ABCs of Death movies, we get 3.5 out of 52 segments directed by women. There's something wrong with that. I know the filmmakers behind the first film acknowledged that there were some women issues, but then why not actively address that in your next installments?<br /><br />On a funner note, there is apparently a female-directed horror anthology in the works with Karyn Kusama, Jennifer Lynch, and a few others behind the camera. So that's something!deadlydollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061028044836745499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003758772971289930.post-79521075739297800482016-04-26T15:22:49.286-04:002016-04-26T15:22:49.286-04:00I've heard 'misogynist' aimed at these...I've heard 'misogynist' aimed at these movies before, but if anything, to me, they're mighty dependent on portraying the awful behavior of young men. Maybe because of the moralist demand of most horror films that the victims somewhat 'deserve' what they get. I mean, the movies are really NOT complimentary about men either. <br />Strangely, I'd forgotten I'd watched this one till I read your synopsis. I pretty much liked it, the same way you like a handful of potato chips but would feel like crap if you ate the whole bag. <br />I've liked the series as a whole, but then I'm a guy, a guy who doesn't mind watching camera-obsessed dude bros get trounced. <br />Hey, maybe the next one will be all women directors! I'd definitely be in to see that. Timmy Crabcakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14737954661234574830noreply@blogger.com
