Some of these movies are classic and I'm not attacking the concept of the tough scream queen type. It's just that I personally like to identify with a lead male caracter and enjoy the old fashion Hero defeats monster and gets girl. Is there anyone else out there who also feels this way or am I alone in this?
Now please remember I am only talking about my prefence as a viewer and am not making a comment abouth the role of women in society. I am more drawn to the image of the damsel in distress who needs to be rescued then to the Xena warrior type. I'd trully like to hear what others have to say about this.
Well if youre Dario Argento you do it because you enjoy watching women dismembered. And those are his words.

heroes don’t exist, they are fictional constructs of an ideal... an ideal that is impossible for any mere mortal to live up to. IMPOSSIBLE...
