From Rosemary's Baby to Suspiria, these great horror movies pass the Bechdel test.
The Big Picture COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Horror is one of cinema’s oldest and most famous genres. It is also one of the few genres to have had a stern female focus, not just in recent years, but over the course of decades when male-centric films dominated the screens. As such, many of horror’s most famous and iconic movies have passed the Bechdel test with ease.
9 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' One of the most iconic horror titles of all time, A Nightmare on Elm Street saw Freddy Kreuger become one of the most feared antagonists in cinematic history. The Wes Craven masterpiece follows Nancy Thompson as she learns her classmates are being slain in their sleep by a dream-stalking killer who has come back from beyond the grave.
While it is more celebrated for its deep dive into racial tensions more so than for its feminist rhetoric, Get Out still manages to pass the Bechdel test quite easily. It features several named female characters such as Rose , Missy , and Georgina , who have occasional miscellaneous conversations with one another.
One thing which helps them is the fact that their daughter is deaf, resulting in them all knowing sign language and being able to communicate in total silence. Given the nature of the film, none of the characters are expressly named and the vast majority of conversation transpires as ASL with subtitles.
4 'The Silence of the Lambs' The Silence of the Lambs is widely heralded as a feminist film of great importance, yet it only marginally passes the Bechdel test. While Clarice is undoubtedly the central character of the film, much of the story revolves around her interactions with men, ranging from deranged killers to her FBI colleagues who tower over her.
2 'The Exorcist' A quintessential film for any movie lover, The Exorcist is now 50 years old and yet it remains the absolute gold standard of the horror genre. It follows a mother who seeks help expert when her daughter exhibits strange behavior after interacting with an Ouija board, with two priests concluding that the young girl is possessed by a demon.
