From Jennifer's Body to Saint Maud, these 10 horror movies are all about the sapphic experience, featuring lesbian and bisexual women as leads.
Horror cinema has strong ties to the LGBTQ+ community in both positive and negative ways. Queer audiences have flocked to the genre, both in spite of and because the genre has historically featured queer-coded villains, such as with the gender nonconformity of Psycho's Norman Bates or the seductive menace of Freddy Krueger in A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge.
9 'The Moth Diaries' Directed by American Psycho's visionary filmmaker Mary Harron and adapted from Rachel Klein's 2002 novel, The Moth Diaries is a gothic horror film about Rebecca , a teenager dealing with grief and the arrival of a mysterious girl at her school named Ernessa . Despite receiving negative reviews, the film has received a critical reevaluation since its release due to its gothic themes and strong direction.
7 'Saint Maud' Saint Maud is a British psychological horror movie written and directed by Rose Glass and distributed by A24. The film stars Morfydd Clark as Maud, a devoutly Catholic woman working as a hospice nurse for Amanda , a terminally ill choreographer. Maud becomes obsessed with saving Amanda's soul, troubled by her hedonism and jealous of her relationship with another woman, Carol .
5 'Jennifer's Body' Excellently balancing its sapphic love story with its blood and gore, Jennifer's Body is a darkly comedic teen slasher written by Diablo Cody and directed by Karyn Kusama. The film focuses on two young bisexual women, the popular and gorgeous Jennifer and her best friend, the nerdy and grounded Needy . It explores their relationship when Jennifer becomes possessed by an evil spirit.
Mia's disturbing bodily changes come at the advent of puberty, and the film takes great measures to portray her distress at becoming different and seeing herself as deviant. The central friendship between Mia and Gianna is beautiful, as they are the only ones to truly look out for one another, sharing tender quasi-romantic moments and alternately saving one another's lives.
