The Other Lamb (2020) by Małgorzata Szumowska examines the life of being in a cult. This coming-of-age story mixed with horror comments on the politicization of women's bodies.

One of the great Indian filmmakers, Deepa Mehta has been telling stories for and about marginalized communities her whole career. In this retrospective of her famous Elements Trilogy we examine all of the hard work she has done to give voices to those who need them.

Re-examining the typical vampire, Ana Lily Amirpour creates a brand new feminist angle of death in A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night. 

Join us for a 23 minute debate on why the only horror films worth watching are actually love stories. Or if Mike Flanagan is your man, come listen to us geek out. Come laugh, cry, and break down with us. Pull up a seat, pop a vitamin C, down a glass of water, and enjoy the ride

The second installment of this series examines Natalie Erika James' film Relic (2020). This thriller depicts the end of an elderly woman's life and how it takes a toll on everyone.

For the last Friday of October we dive into the world of slashers with Amy Holden Jones and Rita Mae Brown’s Slumber Party Massacre (1982). 

Continuing with the themes of grief, we dive into Jennifer Kent's The Babadook and how she manipulates images and sounds to convey her themes.

In this new series we look into the amazing productions made by women during the pandemic. To start off we examine Eliza Hittman's film Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Always (2020) to see the realities of teen pregnancy.

In this rendition of Fridays of Fright we depart from the other horror films we discussed this month. Rose Glass' Saint Maud is a cerebral religious film that examines the character of Maud and her new relationship with religion.

Women directors never seem to get the spotlight they deserve, until now. Join us every Friday in October to discuss horror written and/or directed by women. Kicking off the month we start with Karyn Kusama's 2015 film The Invitation.
