Anything for Jackson (2020)
Audrey (Sheila McCarthy) and Henry (Julian Richings) didn’t start out as Satanists*. But once their grandson Jackson dies, well, their lives have changed. They want him back no matter what it takes, no matter who gets hurt, even if their first rule is that the pregnant woman they have taken, Becker, is not to be […]
Blood Vessel (2020)
Somewhere in the North Atlantic, during the fading days of World War II, a life raft filled with the surviors of a destroyed hospital shop drift with no food or water until they come upon an abandoned German vessel, which seems to be salvation. If we’ve learned anything from movies like Death Ship, things are about […]
REPOST: Santo vs. the Martian Invasion (1967)
EDITOR’S NOTE: This Santo movie was first on our site on May 16. 2020. It’s yet another example of space women coming to Earth to take over. It’s also a totally awesome telling of that trope. Santo has battled everyone from his fellow wrestlers to zombies, vampires, vampire women, the King of Crime, evil wax […]
REPOST: Missile to the Moon (1958)
EDITOR’S NOTE: We already posted this one, way back on March 3, 2020. That said, if you’re going to do a week of movies all about evil women taking over the Earth, you have to include this one, right? Have you already watched this movie? Well, maybe. Missile to the Moon is an even lower-budget […]
REPOST: Amazon Women on the Moon (1987)
EDITOR’S NOTE: We’ve already posted two articles about this beloved film on February 23, 2019 and November 3, 2020, but what kind of female society week would we have if this one didn’t make the cut? To be perfectly honest, I could watch this movie every single day. Directed by five different people — Joe Dante, Carl […]
The Saga of the Viking Women and Their Voyage to the Waters of the Great Sea Serpent (1958)
Released on a double bill with The Astonishing She-Monster, this Roger Corman-directed epic was the result of a pitch by a special effects company, believe it or not. Corman was approached by special effects experts Irving Block (who wrote Forbidden Planet) and Jack Rabin (whose credits include everything from the effects for The Night of the Hunter to Humanoids from […]
She (1965)
Based on the H. Rider Haggard novel, this Hammer feature — directed by Robert Day (The Initiation of Sarah) — takes Ursula Andress to the only logical place she can go after blowing minds as she rose from the beach in Dr. No. Now, she is a goddess. Professor Holly (Peter Cushing), Leo Vincey (John Richardson, […]
Dinosaur Island (1994)
Dinosaur Island has a great poster and let’s leave it at that. Actually, I’m not going to get away with that, so let’s talk about this movie. It seems like I set out to do a week about societies where women rule and I end up watching Jim Wynorski movies. Well, at least he has […]
