“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.

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

...even more intriguing was seeing many of the women who create horror. As in the writers, directors, and producers. All of them are key to the horror movies being made, so we can enjoy them. They all deserve recognition, and this Shudder documentary...

Overall, 1000 Women in Horror is a worthy celebration of women who love horror and who love making horror films. Its execution might not be perfect, but its enthusiasm is dialed to the exact right frequency.

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.
