DO I HAVE SOME RECS FOR YOU:

• Hush: A serial killer targets a deaf woman in her home only to have her own his ass.
• You’re Next: A group of masked killers descend on a family dinner only one of the guests is an aussie expat who grew up on a survivalist commune.
• No One Lives: A bunch of two-bit criminals accidentally kidnap a serial killer. This goes about as well as expected for them.
• Gone: Police don’t believe a girl when she says her kidnapper is back and behind the disappearance of her sister so she takes things into her own hands.

PS: don’t bother with Julia X or The Final Girl – they’re both shiiiiiiitttttt.

I’d like to add:

• From the Dark – Couple on a trip through the Irish countryside have car trouble, encounter a creature that must remain in the darkness, female protagonist eventually decides to just kick fucking ass
• Splinter – Not your average zombie movie by a long shot, mostly because it’s not really zombies. Protags get inventive and fight back.
• The Descent – An A+ movie on its own, and an A++ movie as far as representation, as it’s basically an all-female cast with tiny walk-on dude parts. A group of lady friends who enjoy extreme sports and spelunking decide to go exploring in this one cave. Except it’s the wrong cave.
• I Am Not a Serial Killer – Kid thinks he’s so ~edgy~ and psycho, but then encounters someone…or more accurately someTHING…that actually is. Kid who thought he was incapable of caring about humanity decides to find a way to save people.

I feel like there are more… Like, I can’t recall if The Hallow (NOT to be confused with The Hollow) had that, too. You could arguably say Babadook, but I honestly have a completely different interpretation of the ending… But there are more. I might add them as they come to me. 

I mean, these don’t really have the evil cackling, unless you’re in the audience and going “FUCK YEAH, FUCK HIS SHIT UP, GIRL! DAMN!” But they have people who don’t just run away from the monster, and instead take charge to kick the monster’s ass.

I DID NOT REALISE I AM NOT A SERIAL KILLER WAS OUT

Also The Descent fucked me up in the best way, what a gift of a movie

• Kristy (2014) – Girl hunted down alone on campus during Thanksgiving break. She kicks ass and takes names. OK Slasher, perfectly fits this narrative.
• When Animals Dream (2014) – Girl starts to experience some terrifying changes but when her village tries to hunt her down, the teeth come out. Female sexuality allegory as WEREWOLVES

@richiesseth i know you’ve seen some of these but i thought this would interest you!
