With a slight bit of misandry, this TV documentary shows how women in horror films have been betrayed, and in all but a few cases, its point of view is eye rolling. As narrated with the self effacing wit of Elvira (Cassandra Peterson), it's a mixed bag of psychological mumbo jumbo and interesting observations, best when showing strong female characters like Sigourney Weaver in the "Alien" films (although it does reveal too many spoilers) than when the women interviewed indicate their feelings of how men made these movies to keep women under control. Footage of "Metropolis" and "The Bride of Frankenstein" is utilized to demonstrate that point. When female vampires and witches are documented (going from the silent era up to "Lair of the White Work"), the documentary takes on a clever erotic style that makes it appear that women use their sexuality to control men, providing a mixed message over its claims of male dominance. I didn't find it insulting to men, however, just amusing in its point of view and the reading too much into the themes created by artists long dead.
