Three Ways to Dine Well

21min  |  English  |  Documentary

I had three aims for this film. First, I wanted the audience to discover that women worked in major roles on such horror classics as The Shining, The Evil Dead and Rosemary’s Baby. Second, I wanted to illuminate little known horror films helmed by women, such as Nettie Peña's Home Sweet Home.Third, I wanted to showcase the work of women horror filmmakers from across the globe. Sit back, enjoy, and prepare to stack up a TON of new viewing recs.
