Romance comedy 2026

Set to Teleportals Pull the Trigger, the opening credits sequence has traditional 1950s-looking characters surrounded by random horror iconography like skulls, pentagrams, and the flames of hell. The music and blend of blue and pink lighting really set the tone for the rest of the film, which is all about women in horror subverting expectations and rejecting societal norms.

The source material is an A to Z index of actors, writers, and filmmakers whove made a significant, lasting impact on the genre. Unlike its encyclopedic composition, Davies and Heller-Nicholas structured the documentary in six chapters, each discussing how being female is its own horror story at every stage of life, from deceptively innocent little girls to adult women forced to play old hags. The Girlhood section is about young girls as victims and as sneaky perpetrators, and creepy dolls in notable movies like The Exorcist, The Bad Seed, and M3GAN. In the School Years section, the film focuses on all the biological horrors of being a teenage girl coming-of-age (Carrie, Ginger Snaps), the co-dependency and toxicity of intense female friendships (Jennifers Body), and, of course, iconic final girls from various slasher flicks.

The Adulthood chapter discusses sexual autonomy, the everyday threats of sexual violence, and the catharsis of assault-revenge movies like I Spit On Your Grave and Revenge. When we get to maternal horror (Rosemarys Baby, The Babadook), actress Kate Siegel, wife and collaborator of horror auteur Mike Flanagan (Midnight Mass), describes an unplanned c-section in excruciating detail. The final section on Aging goes into the ageism women face in the industry, how it affects what roles theyre allowed to play in horror, and why aging female bodies are considered horrifying (The Shining).
