Kathryn Bigelow directed "Near Dark".

Well in my opinon it doesn't matter at all.

It depends on how you want the idealogy of your story preceived.

If a female director makes a film in the horror genre it gets roped into the feminist movement's way of preceiving film. "The Last Girl" blahhhh blahhhh vom. Males kinda get called exploitative and seixist while Females get the gritty art label.

Ummmmm two examples of this would be Maniac and Ginger Snaps. There's some pretty blunt aritcles written about these films in regard to this... look 'em up if you can be fucked.

I got a friend that uses an alias to avoid such misconceptions

what a director brings to the table ?
What a ridiculous question.

Women should know their place is at home in the kitchen bringing food to the table, or darning socks while us men make real horror movies and fight in wars and drink ale.

Now shut up bitch, or I'll black the other eye.


:cool:

Near Dark and American Psycho have been mentioned and I think that says it all. A women can do it just as well as a man and sometimes better and vice versa.

Of course, drawing distinctions such as these only serves to highlight sexual inequality.

...or does it?

:p

LOL..n cook your own fucking eggs fool!!

shit no!!

Hell...why do you think alot of cliques are
based around females.and hurricanes/storms..etc..!!
We don't fuck around we have been irked or scorned..hell no!!!
We would make the best directors/producers..cos we express exactly what we are feeling..which is mainly stress and so forth have it portrayed on the big screen.
Why do you think they made us gods??

Let's not forget Rachel Talalay, folks! The wacky crazy girl of horror and sci-fi. Nice person, good director.
