Hello all, I'm new here and am in desperate need of some opinons and views into the roles and portrayals of women in horror films, for my Media Studies Critical Research Paper tomorrow.
All I ask is to select which opinon(s) you most agree with, you may elaborate if you wish too.


Many thanks

Best examples to check out, IMO:

Night of the Living Dead (Original AND Remake)
Aliens

halloween anyone?(jamie lee curtis)

salley hardestey(don't know how to spell her name)-texas chainsaw massacre(1974 version)

Shawnee Smith as Amanda in Saw II and III, she broke a lot of molds while keeping true to some of the stereotypes of women in horror.

It is so all over the place, none of the abopve choices are really appropriate. it depends largely on when the movie was made, and who made it.

learn how to spell before questioning our choices...do you have better ideas????

Above>abopve

Exactly, there are so many extremes that those generalizations just can't be true. Maybe if you stick to a small part of mainstream cinema some of those things are true but even then, as somebody mentioned with Alien, stereotypes are broken constantly.

Above is greater than abopve????

shows how to spell it right...i don't think our choices have to be perfect...those are examples of how women were portrayed in movies...those were some of the top movies in my opinion

Those questions are not asking us for our opinions, it is giving us a choice of which opinions to have. Not the same thing.

I gave a list of opinions, if you call them that, that relate directly to the context of my research with feminist theory.
I am only seeing which are most agreed with.
