Either they show their titties and die, or they're virgins and they live.
Suffrage!!!

Women play a big role in a lot of films-
Check out Rosemary's Baby, The Evil Dead, The Exorcist, King Kong (1933 or 2005), Psycho, I Walked With a Zombie... I mean, I could go on forever. Women have a lot of crucial roles, and I think they're just as important to a storyline.

yes but they are all still victims and in need of help - which mostly comes from a man

I thought you wanted opinions...aren't you sort of polluting your own research if you give us yours?

Evil Dead aside, the survivor is almost always female.
Although personally I think the whole "gender roles in horror" thing is way over-done

Oh. Well, I think women's roles in horror films have been changing drastically since the ERA. Take a look at some of the older films, even...Dawn of the Dead, Aliens (emerging feminism in horror films).
Now we're in Resident Evil and Tomb Raider territory (aggressive, ass-kicking, non-victim female main characters). We've come a long way since 1931's Frankenstein (whimpering bride cowering in the corner).
