Female Slashers?

[Shadow]

Hmmmmm sawmeg you do have a very good point there. I still do think it might be interesting (even if unusual) to see a female slasher in a film. Mainly to see how it would be done. I think I shall look into this more you have opened up my interest.

Switchblade romance
Urban Legends
And what about "I spit on your grave"? Haven´t seen it so i wouldn´t know for sure.

It has been a long time since I have seen Urban Legends but I think some on mentioned that there was reason so that would mean killer rather than slasher yes? (forgive me I am still learning hehe) and as for the other film well I will have to watch it.

the reason it doesnt work as well - yet - is mainly due to the difference in physical size and strength between women and men. (and yes, i know there are some big strong women and some small weak men - but for the general public - we're just built - and trained differently)

MS 45 used a gun ... now that is far more a believable scenario than someone using a lot of force while using a knife .. in most cases

a lot of films concerning the cops trying to solve the case - will not rule out the possibility of it beiong a woman .. X-files always would mention the possibility as well.

maybe its juts politically corect dialogue ..or thorough police work ..
but in that context it's usually mentioned.
