‘XX’ A Horror Movie By Women For Women

A talented group of women have come together to make a female driven horror anthology, ‘XX’. The short films were written and directed by Karyn Kusama (Jennifer’s Body), Jennifer Lynch (Surveillance), Jovanka Vuckovic (The Captured) and ‘American Psycho’ writer Mary Harron. ‘XX’ is comprised of four short films tied together by a common element. Sofia Carrillo (La Casa Triste) will be creating the scenes in between the segments, as well as the beginning sequence. Women make up half of the fans of the horror genre, but it’s rare that a movie is made with women in mind. ‘XX’ will be made by women, for women. The cast and synopsis are yet to be released, but with such a talented group of writers I expect ‘XX’ will be a great movie. We will see ‘XX’ released some time in 2016.

Women in Horror Spotlight: Jennifer Chambers Lynch

Jennifer Chambers Lynch is a writer, director, producer, actress and more! Her most notable horror release which is currently out is Chained, a 2012 horror film about a taxi driver who kidnaps women and murders them. The story centers around a young man he keeps after kidnapping the boy and his mother. The driver hopes to raise the boy as his protege. Her 2010 film Hisss was intended by her to be a love story, but ended up being presented as a horror film in the editing stages. (This prompted the writer/director to disown the piece, but we’ll still count it towards her horror contribution count!) More recently, Lynch has directed on The Walking Dead and she currently has a film entitled XX which is in pre-production stages. XX is set for release in 2016 and is to be an anthology of female-driven horror movie segments. Sounds exciting!
