“But in the end it’s all about Eve – we’re apparently still to blame for our own demise”

After reading both articles and trying to understand the connection between all horror movies and women seemed quite ridiculous. When they were trying to prove the theory for the root of all evil correlates back to the women is just absurd. It is funny how when a topic comes about, people try to relate the specific topic ironically back into the story, as if symbolism is the only dominant aspect in any movie. I am not trying to dismiss all occurrences of symbolism in movies, but I thought the reviews were being too extreme and reaching a bit too far. For instance when 9-11 happened, everyone someone miraculously believed the direct correlation came from the date and our 9-1-1 our emergency phone number…ironic. Or most people know the one if you fold a dollar bill in an exact way, it looks as if two towers are on fire. Or with Nostradamus when he predicted somehow events that would ultimately lead to Armageddon. Again, twisting words or ideas can promote any such idea into a semi-factual instance, as if all the above instances were deliberately developed on future events. What I am getting at is sure women play a large role as characters in thriller movies who “both literally and figuratively gave birth to all the horror”; however all the women roles in the article were chosen too perfect to help display and manipulate their thesis. They could have also tried to prove how young, sex-driven, easily-influenced white men are always the actual murderer (every Scream movie, Freddie, etc).

On another note, I do not want this statement to convey my stance on horror movies. I myself am a huge fan and have loved every movie that was discussed in the articles. I just believe people are looking too hard to see connections, just let the movies be what they are, sick entertainment.
