It is an exciting time to be a woman in horror. The past decade has seen women directing sleeper hits and big-budget studio films. The Substance was nominated for five Academy Awards last year, including a directing nomination for Coralie Fargeat. Other celebrated women directors of the modern age include Julia Ducournau (Titane), Jennifer Kent (The Babadook), Karyn Kusama (The Invitation), and Nia DaCosta (Candyman).
