It does more than scratch the surface of horror, and some of the lesser-known movies it references will help grow the watchlists of the creepy cognoscenti who are looking for some deeper cuts.

“1000 Women” is briskly entertaining and wildly informative as a clip show, insightful in its academic analysis, and the structure of the film enables a tidy organization of an often messy bunch of films.

1000 Women in Horror keeps things breezy without sacrificing substance, resulting in a documentary that’s as engaging as it is insightful.

While there are plenty of famous films excerpted here, like The Exorcist or Suspiria, 1000 Women is also a goldmine of info for casual fans who’d like to find good movies further off the beaten track.

1000 Women in Horror is a fun nightmare about topics that stir controversy or make men uncomfortable, but it’s a must if someone wants to get a closer look at womanhood and what it entails.

This documentary reminds us that film canons are living and breathing artifacts that are structured by intent.

Horrible! Women can do whatever men do. It basically was women saying they can direct /produce like it’s new and never available to them. Some of the movies they showed were horrible. Maybe just show a successful movie. I don’t know…..most of the people giving commentary made horrible movies. If it’s a good movie I don’t care what sex u are. lol. Mostly just a bitchfest.
