Horror has historically featured iconic women in front of the camera, whether they are triumphant final girls or scream queens who continue to champion the genre. But what goes on behind the camera in the horror genre is a different story altogether.Women directors in general aren’t as plentiful in comparison to cis men, and that unfortunately is true for the horror world as well. We might be here forever if we discuss why that is or how women of color and queer women directors are even less plentiful, so we’ll save that for another time. Instead, let’s celebrate what we have been given. Here are some of the best women-directed horror films from the 2020s!
Candyman (2021)
(Universal Pictures)Returning to the world of Candyman and expanding the lore was an exciting experience for fans in 2021. Candyman is a direct sequel to the 1992 original and follows the baby, now a grown man, that Helen (Virginia Madsen) saved in the first film. The film explores themes of police brutality against the Black community, generational trauma, gentrification, and the power and endurance of folklore. Candyman isn’t an easy film to rewatch, but Nia DaCosta’s directing is stellar, and she captures the gritty moments so well throughout. Not to mention, having a Black woman bring the film series back is something to celebrate and make note of.
