Ultimately, Alena is spooky and well-paced enough to be at least mildly successful as a horror movie. And even a mildly successful horror movie is a minority in that genre. Still, as much as I’ve seen worse movies than Alena, I’ve seen better ones too. 5.7/10
Month: <span>October 2019</span>
The Killer Nun is very much a style over substance film. Too bad it’s not particularly stylish. 4.1/10
If you’re looking for a WLW movie that’s funny, violent and features queer teenagers with magic powers, All Cheerleaders Die might be one to check out. 7.7/10
Despite Bandaged being 88 minutes of moving pictures and something resembling a narrative, I finished watching and my first thought was that this hardly even counts as a film. 3.6/10
If you’re a fan of particularly extreme horror movies and don’t mind seeing vomit, bugs and implications of child rape, The Perfection is an effective horror movie. It just would’ve been more effective if they’d chosen a more creative horror device than rape. 6.0/10
Fatal Frame the movie has more or less nothing to do with said video game. It does have lesbians though. Frankly, I think this movie should inspire others to make video game tie-ins that may or may not have anything to do with the source material but definitely contain queer content. 6.6/10
My favourite sub-sub-genre of lesbian film is 70’s lesbian vampire films. Vampyres is a 70’s lesbian vampire film and it sucks! I’m so upset. 4.2/10
For all the good things about What Keeps You Alive, it remains a horror/thriller movie and it is neither horrific nor thrilling. 5.4/10
Even by decades-old exploitation film standards, The Blood Spattered Bride is pretty overt in its fear of feminism and lesbianism. However, that fear is so prominent that I think it loops back around into being borderline complimentary. 6.9/10
I thought I’d throw together a longer list of WLW/lesbian horror movies to celebrate this, the spookiest of months. And just to show that there is variety to WLW horror movies, less than a third of these movies feature vampires.
