I’d like to see a proper horror film where the protagonist is a man who has a seemingly normal girlfriend but in reality she’s part of an all female cult that practices womanhood witch craft. However theres no supernatural elements. It’s like the strangers movie except the cult is just filled with misandrists that practices Wiccan, have cats, some are liberals, some are conservatives.
The thing is throughout the movie except for the obvious horror gory parts. Theres this underlying tone/feeling of sexism and micro aggressions towards the men in the movie. Like imagine a scene where the guy and his gf go on a double date with the girlfriend’s best friend and her husband.
They’re having a pleasant dinner until the women shift the conversation into gender roles and politics. The women start talking shit about men in general and go into their usual rants about patriarchy, male previlege and what not.
Remember in the beginning the man clearly is a decent fellow. Not a simp but not a redpilled Andrew Tate fanboy either.
The men are clearly uncomfortable but they just chuckle and grin through it all.
The whole movie should feel extremely uncomfortable for the men as if they had to wait in the hair salon filled women talking just yapping kinds of shit and they can’t leave.
The critics and armchair philosophers will claim its a feminist piece that showcases the struggle of women and blah blah blah but in reality the movie should show that when given power women will commit the same levels of atrocities as men and theyre more than likely to get away it because they’re a woman.

Hereditary, Gone girl and Get out are the closest to the idea of a female evil or toxic femininity. Midsommar was good but it’s the same “woman is victim of circumstances due to her various encounters with men” sprinkled throughout. I want the inverse of that.
I want the inverse where the man gets saved by another man like his best friend or brother. When you saw the ending of get out and the cop car pulled up. The gut wrenching feeling came when we expected the black man was going to lose this fight because he just survived a crazy bitch only to get arrested by the stereotypical white cop.
Only to find it was friend/cop worker who knew the white woman was sus and he came and saved him. I want more of that but I know Hollywood will never allow that.

Good point. I used Midsommar because it exemplifies the worst of simping. He feels responsible for the well-being of an emotional wreck. He’s drugged and forced to screw someone else. She still treats it as cheating and has him drugged and burned alive in a bear outfit.
