Which of the following horror movies directed by female(s) is your favorite?

Please note: Only movies with at least 15,000 IMDb user ratings will be included.

I didn't include american psycho because IMDB has denied my requests in the past to put horror as a genre, so I thought they wouldn't want to contradict themselves by posting my poll lol. Good suggestions adding some!!

I am a big fan of Rachel Talalay so despite it's not my favorite of the franchise, her entry will probably have my vote.

Yet to see Near Dark, but I've heard a lot of praiseand hope it will live up to it.

Oh, and in my opinion 15,000 is too high of a bar from that subject, mostly because there are a lot of rather obscure but great horror movies directed by women, such as The Velvet Vampire (1971) and Blood Bath (1966) by pioneering exploitation director Stephanie Rothman first ever feamle member of DGA. Directors like Rothman need more exposure and acclaim they initally were declined of because both gender AND ghetto status of explotation and independent film.

Hm. If I add movies with 500 votes I'll have no way of narrowing to 35. Movies directed by both a man and a woman aren't being added, or Goodnight Mommy would forsure be on the list

Shouldn't you also include "Silent Hill: Revelation" (2012)?  The director M. J. Bassett (formerly "Michael) identifies as a transgender woman.

Michael J Bassett is actually the name associated with the release of that film so it wouldn't work anyways, M.J. still publicly identified as a dude at the time

groovyvic,

At your discretion, you can add Silent Hill: Revelation (2012) with M.J. Bassett at the end of your list and ask for a re-push.

you've missed out some of the best horror films that have female actresses in, so there's no point in asking for votes

Groovyvic has not been an active participant for about 5 months now, so I don't think she will read your reply,  Craig Campbell.
Thanks
