FEMALE MOVIE/TV RECS (PART 5 / HORROR & CRIME DRAMA)

got inspired from a recommendation post so decided to make a list of movies and shows with female-centric stories/female protagonists. since i can't post all of the genres in one post, i'll split it into multiple posts and y'all can save or add to the list as you wish. (disclaimer: i have watched most of these, but i only know about the existence of others. not every movie/show on these lists will be my recommendation. my recommendations will be beneath the list with reasons. also some of these are way better than others in terms of storytelling/performance--which is why i'll list my faves separately):

Common Themes:

-Dangerous girls (they ain't innocent)/ girlhood as violent

-Stressed out and melancholic female detectives and authors (lots of drinking/smoking)

-Mothers who've seen too fucking much to play games/I'm a good mother until it doesn't let up

-Women handling shit/getting shit done

-Mothers who didn't want to be mothers but here we fucking are so might as well handle shit

-Evil women who are also unfortunately hot

-Female sociopaths (not always negatively portrayed)

GOOD STUFF (NEVER WATCHING AGAIN THOUGH!)

Candy (7.5/10) (she's just a killer lol)

Cruella (6.5/10)(help my mom is a narcissist and it's hereditary)

Jennifer's Body (7/10) (boys aren't people lmao)

Bird Box (8/10)

Under the Bridge (8/10)

PERSONAL NOTES

I watched Tragedy Girls years ago, and I remember being grossed out and having a lot of fun as well. If you like Jennifer's Body, you'll probably like Tragedy Girls, too. And if you like Tragedy Girls, you may also enjoy Thoroughbreds. All three have a twisted sense of girlpower.

The Call isn't scary so much as its nerve-wracking and upsetting. It's not gory (although there is violence), but it deals with heavy subject matter. I can, however, promise a satisfying ending. Even though I doubt it would put you at ease.

Horror is my least favourite genre so bear that in mind. I just hate jump scares (because I hate being startled) and I don't like gore though there are times where it doesn't bother me so much. So this is definitely not an exhaustive list on horror recs. Crime is as close as I usually get to such dark stuff so I put the dark crimes, psychological thrillers and horrors together. I don't even want to talk about these that much because I'm nauseous already.

Watch at your own risk.

You know who we don’t hear enough of, and who I absolutely adore? Nym. I know Nymmie is only a toddler but I feel in my bones that she will be one of favorite Darlings of all time. And while we’re at it, how are Laurel and Maple?

Y'know, when you're right you're right— and you couldn't be more right my dear! There's just so many Darling grandbabies, and it's tough to give them all equal time in the story, but Nym and the other plant babies are definitely super special little beans and we def need to hear from them more! Now, the season is wrapping up with multiple different time skips in the documentary (4 months after election, 6 months after, and 9 months) but assuming we're talking right now, a few days after the incident—let's travel to Strangerville and check in:

Nym is of course wild and thriving as per usual! She still loves to play, and is adapting to becoming a big sister.

Alice went to school with Erwin, and they weren't close or anything, but they were friends. So she, as well as quite a few others in their circle are struggling to process his abduction while also balancing parenthood.

the plantbaby twins are also blooming into fully fledged little sprouts, and soon they'll be toddlers before we know it! They pretty much have all their milestones down. Laurel is still working on her first word and how to dance though, but she'll get it down. They're also discovering all the foods, both soft and finger foods. Maple loooves carrots, so Sage made sure to grow extra this year!

Always love being included in the copy/paste games and activities, but these types of questions are extra special and personalized, thank you for thinking of these Darlings and checking in 🌱💚🌱

I'm watching a movie tonight - Alice Darling - and the acting is so amazing. The vibes in the relationship the main character has are just off, all based on the subtle way the lead holds herself or tries to sneak out of bed. And you can tell a whole lot about her best friends' thoughts - they think the boyfriend is abusive but can't bring themselves to tell the lead because she won't believe it. And all of this is subtext through glances and expressions. There's not a single line about the subject. I'm super impressed.
