Great points all round. However I still stick by what I said I would like to see a female slasher. Is it that unbelievable that a woman can be evil and/or insane enough to kill for no realy reason? Yes the method of killing may need to be different but the general idea would it really not work?

i dunno it might work but you'd have to delve into why she became crazy/insane

i spit on your grave has a female killer but as i pointed out she starts killing her kidnappers who have gang raped her and beaten her i've got the dvd its actually a shit film

i think females are viewed differently but if we knew from the beginning it was a female it might be more exciting

in cherry falls you are lead to believe its a female killing al the way through it

That's the movie title, right there THE MOTHER IN-LAW

it'd be a great phony trailer for the Grindhouse collection:D

HAHA! I could take you... same size, only younger :)

I dont fear my mother in law though.. She set me up with Doom 3 and FEAR so she is A-Ok.

Some may notice that iused to be Urge's size (6' 2"), but i appear to have lost 2 inches somewhere.... it is really weird...

Size is an invalid agrument

seen Puppet Master, Demonic Toys, Leprechaun, It's Alive...that was a fucking baby - A BABY, and there were two sequels to that one.

A woman could be a great slasher

And crazy beats size time and time again.

she could be but she needs a reason even if its just a reason for being insane it has to be there

Play Misty for me. Skinny psycho bitch beat up Clint, for god's sake.

One movie I can think of the fits that "female killer with a reason" is that movie Monster. She's a prostitute and kills guys. Some wierd shit.

its based and a true serial killer it is a little freaky

its a very valid arguement depending on how realistic you want it to be.
none of the films you cited i like - for the very reasons you mentioned .. except to be taken as a joke.

i dont think you want to have a female slasher taken as a joke.
