As you should certainly know by now, February is Women in Horror Month; and Shudder is celebrating with “A Woman’s Touch,” a brand new collection of films highlighting and honoring horror movies directed by women.
The collection features such notable female-directed films as Clair Denis’ Trouble Every Day (starring Vincent Gallo), Lynne Ramsey’s We Need to Talk About Kevin (with Tilda Swinton, John C. Reilly, and Ezra Miller), and the Shudder-exclusive supernatural horror film Dearest Sister by Mattie Do, among many others.
Coming to Shudder February 9th is Blind Sun, the hallucinatory dystopian debut from Lebanese female director Joyce A. Nashawati, which had its North American premiere at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival.
Get the full details below, and if you don’t have Shudder yet, get a move on! For more info visit the official Shudder website, “like” Shudder on Facebook, and follow Shudder on Twitter and Shudder on Instagram.
From the Press Release:
We know there’s no such thing as “a woman’s perspective on horror” because the twisted and unique views included in this collection are as diverse as the women who offer them. From vampires both real and imaginary to doppelgängers and collisions with the afterlife, this collection has it all. Identity crises, demonic domestic issues, phantasmagoric romance, the horrors of motherhood, and feminist interpretations on the giallo all make an appearance.
These films don’t shy away from tough and personal themes. More importantly, these blood-splattered gems are sure to satisfy your cravings for powerful voices and thought-provoking horror.
